Key:
A We've been datin' since high school
D We never once left this town
A We use to go out on the weekends
D And we'd drink 'til we drowned
G But now she's actin' funny, and I
Bm don't understand
A I think that she's found her, some
D other man
G She left me for Jesus, and that
D just ain't fair
A She says that he's perfect, how
D D7 could I compare
G She says I should find him
Bm And I'll know peace at last
A If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin'
D his ass
Continues after the ad
A She showed me a picture, all I
D could do was stare
A At that freak in his sandals, with
D his long pur-ty hair
G They must think that I'm stupid, or
Bm I don't have a clue
A I'll bet he's a commie, or even
D worse yet a Jew
G She left me for Jesus, and that
D just ain't fair
A She says that he's perfect, how
D D7 could I compare
G She says I should find him
Bm And I'll know peace at last
A If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin'
D his ass
G Bm A D
A She's given up whiskey, and
D a-takin' up wine
A While she prays for his troubles,
D has forgot about mine
G I'm a-gonna get even, I can't
Bm handle the shame
A Why last time we made love, she
D even called out his name
G She left me for Jesus, and that
D just ain't fair
A She says that he's perfect, how
D D7 could I compare
G She says I should find him
Bm And I'll know peace at last
A If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin'
D his ass
G It coulda been Carlos, or even
Bm Billy or Ted
A But if I ever find Jesus, he's
D gonna wish he was dead
G D A|--------| men
