Chords with lyrics
Bad Debt album version
Tuning: EADGAE (tune the BB string one step down)
Capo IV
I've mostly used 'normal' chord names, so as not to make it too convoluted.
In this tuning the correct chord names would be a bit different.
Suggested shapes (in order of appearance):
A5A5 002200
C/GC/G 332000 (C6/G)
E minorEm 022000 (Emadd4)
G+G 320003 (Gadd9Gadd9)
D MajorD x00202
F/CF/C x3320x

C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
Now I'm bound for Nazareth town with all the mistakes I've made
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
Well God is good and it's understood, but he moves in mysterious ways
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
He saw it all, my folderol, my rough and rowdy friends
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
in fact I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6, when he showed up in the back
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
So goodbye sweet Genevieve and goodbye my Tulsa friends
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
But hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
Just as well I was going to hell, I wasted everything
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
no more shooting pool, no getting drunk, now I'm gone to see the king
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G+G D MajorD A5A5 E minorEm C/GC/G F/CF/C G+G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G+G D MajorD A5A5 E minorEm C/GC/G F/CF/C G+G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
I spent some time in Jerusalem where I tried my best to behave
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
and I told the town how they cut Him down and He rose up from the grave
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
Would you believe they laughed at me, no they would not leave me be
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
Next thing I know I was skipping stones on the Sea of Galilee
-Chorus-
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G+G D MajorD A5A5 E minorEm C/GC/G F/CF/C G+G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G+G D MajorD A5A5 E minorEm C/GC/G F/CF/C G+G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in

C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
The time will come when the chosen one He calls on us in thanks
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
He loves us all but the ones who fall hold a special place in his ranks
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD C/GC/G
At least I hope this is how it goes, since I'm just about out of breath
C/GC/G G+G D MajorD A5A5
So hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
-Chorus- 2x

But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
