[Verse 1]
[D]I saw a garage sale
Pulled [G]up in the yard
Found [D]a statue of Jesus
It was [A]eight feet tall
He [D]held out his arms
And [G]he seemed all alone
So I [D]loaded him up
And [G]drove him [A]home

[Verse 2]
[D]Out by my driveway he
Look[G]s down the street
[D]With his long hair and sandals made
[A]Of rebar and concrete
I [D]painted him white with
a long [G]purple robe
He's a [D]rock of ages on our
[G]gravel [A]road

[Verse 3]
[Chorus] [D]He's an
eight-hundred [A]pound pound [G]Jesus
[D]Standing tal[G]ler than a tre[A]e
He's an [D]eight-hundred [A]pound pound [G]Jesus
[D]A bigger man[G] than you[A] or

[Verse 4]
I thought [D]loosin' my job was
The en[G]d of the world
Till [D]my best pal ran off with [A]my best girl
I [D]felt suicidal with [G]no real friends
So I [D]walked outside with a [G]rope in my [A]hand

[Verse 5]
[D]Out by that statue there's [G]a big old tree
So [D]I stood on his shoulders
And [A]I counted to three
I had [D]every intention of buy[G]ing the farm
But when [D]I jumped off he caught m[G]e i[A]n[D][A][G][D][G]
[A]his[D][A][G][D]
[G]arm[A]s

[Verse 6]
[Chorus] [D]I wanted
to return the fa[G]vor to him
'Cause [D]I never had a more [A]solid friend
So I [D]planted some flowers
All [G]around his feet
And [D]I bought him a flock
Of ceram[G]ic [A]sheep[D][A]

[Verse 7]
[G][Chorus]
[D]He's [G]a[A][D][A][G]
[D]bigger man[G]
Than [A]you or me
