[Intro]
D Em7 D/F# G
D Em7 D/F# G [Verse]
D There was a man
I used to pass on
G
my way into town He was covered in dirt
like the world had beat him down D I often wondered how
he ended up like that G So one day, drivin' home,
I pulled over to ask Em7 D/F# I said, "Man, where'd did
G
it all go wrong?" Em7 D/F# G He said, "Son, do you really wanna know?" D Em7 D/F# My daddy left for another woman,
G
moved off to L.A. D Em7 D/F# My momma fought hard against that cancer,
G
she died when I was eight D Em7 I finished school, my country
D/F# G
shipped me off to war D Em7 When I came home, my whole world
D/F# G
didn't love me anymorе [Chorus]
Em7 D/F# It's hard to see all that
G
when you're drivin' by Em7 D/F# So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
G
'causе there ain't no way
D Em7
I can fit that on a sign D/F# G D Em7 D/F# G I can't fit that on a sign [Verse]
D I took him to a diner,
I bought him a cup of coffee G He asked me if he could bum
a couple dollars off me Em7 D/F# He told me his story,
G
I told mine Em7 D/F# He said, "Thanks 'cause most folks around
G
here would never take the time" D Em D/F# He said, "I lost my job down at the mill
G
when that factory closed D Em7 D/F# Army stopped sendin' me them checks,
G
the bank took everything I owned" D Em7 D/F# Hitchhiked my way up to Chicago,
G D
the nights were too dang cold Em7 D/F# I hopped the train, headed west 'cause
G
I had nowhere else to go [Chorus]
Em7 It's hard to see
D/F# G
all that drivin' by Em7 D/F# So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
G
'causе there ain't no way
D Em7
I can fit that on a sign D/F# G There ain't no way to fit that
D Em7 D/F# G
on a sign [Verse]
Em7 D/F# I probably would've wrote down
G
a little more Em7 If I could've found
D/F# G
a bigger piece of cardboard D Em7 D My brother Walter was my hero G But he was bad to drink D Em7 D/F# One night, he laid his Harley down G Near that Ohio River Bank D Em7 D/F# Me and my ex-wife tried for kids
G
when we were datin' D Em7 D/F# Heck, we even had baby names picked out G But little Walter didn't make it [Outro]
Em7 It's hard to see
D/F# G
all that drivin' by Em7 D/F# So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
G
'cause there ain't no way
D Em7
I can fit that on a sign D/F# G D Em7 D/F# G Can't fit all that on a sign
