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