George Jones And Jesus Lyrics

w/u (walk-up) =
Chorus:
E (w/u) A E
George Jones and Jesus are two heroes of mine
One is only human and the other one divine
When I could not find a friend I found out that I had two
George Jones and Jesus, pulled me through
When a man is on the bottle
He may not cry for help
But he needs to know he's not alone
In hell all by himself
Those songs old George was singing
They somehow eased the hurt
And Jesus did not turn me out
When a bar room was my church
REPEAT CHORUS
Instrumental: (w/u) A E B E C# (key change)
Now the possum ain't no savior
But he never claimed to be
And Jesus hung out with a crowd
Of troubled souls like me
Now you can't find a George Jones classic
In a big black book of hymns
But I'm living proof that Jesus saves
In a smokey place like this
key change walk-up=
Last Chorus:
F# (w/u) B F#
George Jones and Jesus are two heroes of mine
One is only human and the other one divine
When I could not find a friend I found out that I had two
George Jones and Jesus, pulled me through
When I could not find a friend I found out that I had two
George Jones and Jesus, pulled me through
George Jones and Jesus...
