800 LB JESUS Sawyer Brown
D G
I saw a garage sale pulled up in the yard
D A
Found a statue of Jesus It was eight feet tall
D G
He held out his arms and he seemed all alone
D Em A
So I loaded him up and I drove him home
D G
Out by my driveway he looks down the street
D
Long hand sandels made of rebar and concrete
D G
I painted him white with a long purple robe
D Em A
He's a rock of the ages on a gravel road
CHORUS:
D G Em A D D A
He's an eight hundred pound Jesus Standing taller than a tree
D G A D D G A D
He's an eight hundred pound Jesus a bigger man than you or me
D G
I thought losing my job was the end of the world
D A
Till my best pal ran off with my best girl
D G
I felt suicidal with no real friends
D Em A
So I walked outside with a rope in my hands
D G
Out by that statue there's a big oak tree
D A
So I stood on his shoulders and I counted to three
D G
I had every intention of buying the farm
D Em A
But when I jumped off he caught me in his arms
Go to chorus
D G
I wanted to return the favor to him
D A
Cause I never had a more solid friend
D G
So I planted some flowers all around his feet
D Em A
And I bought him a flock of ceramic sheep go to chorus, ending
ENDING:
A D D G A D
He's a bigger man than you or me.
