Album - Letter To You (2020)

[Intro]
            F               C
There's a light on yonder mountain
           Dm           B
And it's calling me to shine
            F                      C
There's a girl over by the water fountain
             Dm          B
And she's asking to be mine

[Verse 1]
      F                         C
And Jesus is standing in the doorway
        Dm                              B
In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine
       F                            C
He says, "We need you son tonight up in Dodge City
               Dm                        B
'Cause there's just too many outlaws trying to work the same line"
B F x4

[Chorus]
         F                     C
Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I were the priest
         Dm                        B
If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief
    F            C               Dm
If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
  F
There's still too many bad boys trying to work the same line

[Verse 2]
                                      C
Well sweet Virgin Mary runs the Holy Grail saloon
             Dm                                     B
Well for a nickel she'll give you whiskey and a personally blessed balloon
           F                                     C
And the Holy Ghost is the host with the most, he runs the burlesque show
              Dm                            B
Where they'll let you in for free and they hit you when you go

[Verse 3]
         F                           C
Mary serving Mass on Sunday and she sells her body on Monday
           Dm                            B
To the bootlegger who paid the highest price
    F                                                     C
He don't know he got stuck with a loser, she's a stone junkie what's more she's a user
          Dm                            B
She's only been made once or twice by some kind of magic

[Chorus]
     F                     C
If Jesus was a sheriff and I were the priest
       Dm                          B
If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief
      F                C             Dm
And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
          B                                         F
There's still too many outlaws trying to work the same line
  B F x4

[Verse 4]
       F                                         C
Well things ain't been the same in heaven since Big Bad Bobby came to town
             Dm                       B
He's been known to down eleven, then ask for another round
 F                                     C
Me I've got scabs on my knees from kneeling way too long
        Dm                                 B
It's about time I played the man, took a stand where I belong
         F                     C                Dm
And I forget about the old friends and the old times
         B                                               F
There's just too many new boys trying to work the same line

[Chorus]
           F                    C
Well if Jesus was a sheriff and I were the priest
        Dm                         B
If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief
     F                 C             Dm
And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
          B                                             F
There's just too many outlaws trying to work the same line
 F F

[Verse 5]
                  F                C
Well there's a light on yonder mountain
          Dm             B
And it's calling me to shine
           F                         C
There's a girl over by the water fountain
        Dm          B
She's asking to be mine
   F                         C
Jesus is standing in the doorway
           Dm               B
Six gun drawn and ready to fan
       F                               C
Said, "We need you tonight son up in Dodge City"
 Dm                                  B
Told him I was already overdue for Cheyenne

[Chorus]
     F                       C
If Jesus was the sheriff and I were the priest
       Dm                         B
If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief
      F                        C
And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
          Dm                      B
There's still too many bad boys trying to work the same line
     F                       C
If Jesus was the sheriff and I were the priest
       Dm                         B
If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief
      F               C             Dm
And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
           B                                              F
There's still too many bad boys trying to work the same line
     F                       C
If Jesus was the sheriff and I was the priest
