[Intro] E A E E A E ......................... [Verse 1] E Well I ain't never been an angel A E I ain't never been called a saint E E Yeah, I've decorated every bar in town
C#m B With a big red coat of paint E But good thing I had a good raisin' A E For all the Hell I've raised since then A E When that roll is called up yonder C#m B I know they're gonna let me in [Chorus] E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul A E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go E The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold A E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go A E Might have a little rust on my halo C#m B But when I'm gone I know where I'll go A* SINGLE STRUM E A - E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul.......... [Verse 2] E Now I've been a little more cold beer A E Than holy water, it's true A E More Saturday night on an old bar stool C#m B Than a Sunday morning pew
E But even old Hank Williams A E Finally saw the light A E And, oh hallelujah, I have too C#m B And it ain't just the neon kind [Chorus] E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul A E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go E The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold A E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go A E Might have a little rust on my halo C#m B But when I'm gone I know where I'll go A E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul A E E A B Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah...... [Bridge] E A E Whoa, I got a long, long way to go E A B Whoa, but I'm gonna get there I know [Chorus] E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul A E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go E The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold A B 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul E And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go A E Might have a little rust on my halo C#m B But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
A E 'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul.. A E E Jesus got a tight grip on my soul A E Yeah he does, and he ain't letting go..
