[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..
