If I Was The Priest

          A               E       
There's a light on yonder mountain
          F#m           D
 and it's callin' me to shine
          A                     
There's a girl over by the water 
 E                  F#m          D
fountain and she's asking to be mine
     A                       
That Jesus is standing in the 
 E                     F#m        
doorway in a buckskin jacket, 
                Dmaj7
boots and spurs so fine
          A                        
Says, "We need you, son, tonight up
          E
 in Dodge City
               F#m                 
'Cause there's just too many 
            D
outlaws tryin' to work the same 
line"

Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I was
 the priest
      F#m                       
If my lady was an heiress and my 
 D
Mama was a thief
   A                 E            
If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo 
D  Bm
line
         F#m           E      
There's still too many bad boys 
            D             A
tryin' to work the same line

[Verse 2]
      A                         E
Well sweet Virgin Mary runs the Holy
 Grail saloon
            F#m                    
Where for a nickel she'll give you 
              D
whiskey and a personally blessed 
balloon
        A                          
And the holy ghost is the host with
             E
 the most he runs the burlesque show
              F#m                
Where they'll let in for free and 
      D
they hit you when you go
     A                             
Mary serves mass on Sunday and she 
E
sells her body on Monday
       F#m                         
To the bootlegger who will pay the 
        D
highest price
         A                       
He don't know he got stuck with a 
                      E
loser, she's a stone junkie, what's 
more she's a user
      F#m                    D    
She's only been made once or twice
                 A  E
 by some kind of magic

     A                             
Well things ain't been the same in 
                 E
heaven since big bad Bobby came to 
town
          F#m                      
He's been known to down eleven then
 D
 ask for another round
A                                
Me, I got scabs on my knees from 
E
kneeling way too long
           F#m                     
It's about time I played the man 
          D
and took a stand where I belong
         A             E          
Yeah, forget about the old friends
             D  Bm
 and the old times
        F#m           E      
There's just too many new boys 
            D             A
tryin' to work the same line

Jesus is standing in the doorway,
          F#m                D
 six guns drawn and ready to fan
          A                        
Said, "We need you tonight, son, up
    E
 in Dodge City"
         F#m                       
Told him I was already overdue for
