They Don't Serve Barbecue In Hell chords by Cary Swinney

Verse 1:
D
On the eighth day
              G             D
God created a Texas bar and grill

He invited all his closest Gods
        C
for the very first meal
D
He said, "Let's not tell ol' Adam & Eve,
G                       D
you know those two will squeal"

They kept it, under their halos,
         C              D
and then agreed, to the deal
D

Joseph learned the two-step
      G               D
oh he danced it oh-so-well

He over-dosed on country music
    C
and fell
D
And the sweet sweet sound of steel guitars
     G                  D
and fiddles filled the air
                                    C
Coyote dogs and old bull frogs just stopped -
    D
and stared


Chorus:
G
While the unborn child named Jesus
                 D
danced with Mary
G
Long before ol' long hair
                D
parted the sea
G
Smoke from Barbecue
                        D
soon swept the prairie
              C
But there was no one there to smell -
    D
the smell
         C
And they don’t serve barbecue -
   D
In hell

[Instrumentals]


Verse2:
D
Miles and time will rob you blind
     G                   D
Yes, along came an Indian

God got scared - he wasn't prepared
                C   G  C G
so he packed it in
D
But he left behind a smoke-stack shrine
      G                   D
and a dog on a lid-closed-grill
D
He just left it - smokin',
         C
and it's there -
D
still


Chorus:
G
While the unborn child named Jesus
                 D
danced with Mary
G
Long before ol' long hair
                D
parted the sea
G
Smoke from Barbecue
                        D
soon swept the prairie
              C
But there was no one there to smell -
    D
the smell
         C
And they don’t serve barbecue -
   D
In hell
