Jesus In New Orleans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The last time I saw Jesus
I was drinking bloody mary's in the [Am]South
In a [C]barroom in [D]New Orleans
Rinsin' out the bad taste in my mouth
[G]

[Verse 2]
She wore a dark and faded blazer
With a little of the lining
hanging [Am]out
When the [C]jukebox played Miss Dorothy Moore
I [D]knew that it was him without a doubt
[G]

[Verse 3]
I said, "The road's been
my redeemer
I never know just what on earth [Am]I'll find
In the [C]faces of a stranger
[D]In the dark and
weary corners of [G]a mind"

[Verse 4]
She said, [G]"The last highway is only
As far away as you are from your[Am]self
No [C]matter just how bad it gets
[D]It does no good to blame
somebody [G]else"

[Verse 5]
Oh, ain't [G]it [Am]crazy
What's re[C]vealed when you're
not look[D]ing all [G]that close?
Oh, ain't it [Am]crazy
How [C]we put to death the [D]one's
we need [G]the most?

[Verse 6]
[G]
I know I'm not a martyr
I've never died for anyone [Am]but me
The [C]last frontier is only
[D]The stranger in the mirror that I see
[G]

[Verse 7]
But when I least expect it
Here and there I see my
savior's [Am]face
[C]He's still my favorite [D]loser
Falling for the entire human [G]race
[D]Oh, ain't

[Verse 8]
[G]it [Am]crazy
What's re[C]vealed when you're
not [D]looking all [G]that close?
Oh, ain't it [Am]crazy
How [C]we put to death the [D]one's we need the
[G]most?

[Verse 10]
Oh, ain't [G]it [Am]crazy
What's re[C]vealed when you're
not look[D]ing all that [G]close?
Oh, ain't it [Am]crazy
How we [C]put to death the [D]one's
we need [Am]the most?[C]
Oh hey, yeah
[D][G]
