**Capo 2**


Intro: D  A  G (x2)

Verse 1:
   D             A               G
I stumbled on a preacher Sunday morning
D                   A          G
All decked out and made up for TV
Em7                                A
Asking for some money from God's people
Em7                         A
Talking all that high theology

Verse 2:
Well I might be just an old blue collar
There's things about the Lord that I don't know
But I bet he never had a million dollars
Or wore a lot of stylish fancy clothes, (cause)


Chorus:
             G
Jesus was a country boy

Walking down a dirt road, with everything that he owned
                D
He never met a stranger
A
Born in a barn underneath the stars
                        D
His mama laid him in a manger
G
Swimmin' in the river, fishin' for his dinner
                         Bm
Livin' with the sinners like me
Em7  D/F#  G  A                 G
Makes me thi--nk, Jesus was a country boy


Verse 3:
My daddy never cared much for religion
And my mama worried a lot about his soul
She'd hit her knees and pray for him on Sunday
While daddy hit his favorite fishin' hole

Verse 4:
You see daddy was a rebel and a rambler
But I always knew he loved my mama so
I never doubted he'd make it to Heaven
Cause it ain't who you are it's who you know (and daddy knew)


CHORUS

       Em7 D/F# G  A                    G           D
Yes and I beli---eve, that Jesus was a country boy
