INTRO: E 

E 
He was born to be known as everybody's brother 
E 
He is the Father's son and Mary is His mother 
        A                                                E 
He is excuse my slanguage, well a compound country kinda guy, yes He is 
         B7                    A                         E 
Ain't no way to get around it, you just can't beat Jesus Christ, no you can't 

E 
Well I use to crank and drank until my back was to the floor 
E 
I'd take it to the limit then I'd try to give some more 
     A                                                              E 
Yeah when it came to gamblin', hey Lord gotta know how to roll them dice, yes I would 
         B7                 A                          E 
Ain't no two ways about it, I have been saved by Jesus Christ 
E 
Yes, I have, praise the Lord guitar 


SOLO 

E 
Alright, listen to me... 
E 
Even though I am a sinner He will always be my friend 
E           
Well He starts in the middle and He does not have an end 
        A                                                         E 
When my soul was held for ransom, yeah He is the one who paid the price, yes He did 
         B7                 A                     E 
Ain't no reason to deny it, I owe it all to Jesus Christ, yes I do, God bless you!
