[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, I ain't
never been an angel
I ain't [G]never been called [D]a saint
Yeah, [G]I've decorated every bar in town
[D]With a big[Bm] red coat of p[A]aint
But good [D]thing I had a good raisin'
For all the [G]Hell I've raised since [D]then
When that [G]roll is called up [D]yonder
I know [Bm]they've gonna let me [A]in

[Verse 2]
'Cause Jesus got a [D]tight grip on my soul
And [G]he ain't lettin' go,
he [D]ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but
he can't grab hold
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight grip [D]on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go,
he ain't lettin' go
Might [G]have a little rust on [D]my halo
But [Bm]when I'm gone,
I know [A]where I'll go
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight
grip on my soul
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
Now I've been a little more cold beer
Than [G]holy water, it's [D]true
More [G]Saturday night on
an [D]old bar stool
Than a [Bm]Sunday morning [A]pew
But [D]even old Hank Williams
[G]Fi nally saw [D]the light
And, [G]oh hallelujah, [D]I have too
And [Bm]it ain't just the neon [A]kind

[Verse 4]
'Cause Jesus got a [D]tight grip on my soul
And he [G]ain't lettin' go,
he [D]ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but he
can't grab hold
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight grip [D]on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go,
he ain't lettin' go
Might [G]have a little rust on [D]my halo
But [Bm]when I'm gone,
I know [A]where I'll go
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight grip on my soul,
[D]yeah
[G]Jesus got a tight grip [D]on my soul,
yeah
[G][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Whoa
I got a [G]long, long way [D]to go
Whoa
But I'm [G]gonna get there, I [A]know

[Verse 6]
'Cause Jesus got [D]a tight grip on my soul
And he [G]ain't lettin' go,
he [D]ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but he
can't grab hold
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight grip [A]on my soul
And he ain't [D]lettin' go
(no, no), he ain't lettin' go
Might [G]have a little rust on
[D]my halo (my halo)
But [Bm]when I'm gone,
I know [A]where I'll go
'Cause [G]Jesus got a tight
grip on my [D]soul
[G]Je sus got a tight [D]grip on my soul
Yeah, he does, and he [G]ain't lettin' [D]go
