Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
D Em7 D/F# G D Em7 D/F# G
[Verse 1]
DThere was a man I used to pass on my way into towGn
GHe was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down
DI often wondered how he ended up like that
So Gone day, drivin' home, I pulled over to ask
Em7I said, "Man, D/F#where'd did it all go Gwrong?"
Em7He said, "Son, do you D/F#really wanna Gknow?"
DMy daddy Em7left for another woD/F#man, moved off Gto L.A.
DMy momma fought Em7hard against that D/F#cancer, she Gdied when I was eight
DI finished Em7school, my country D/F#shipped me off to war G
When I Dcame home, my Em7whole world didn't D/F#love me anymorе G
[Chorus]
It's Em7hard to see all D/F#that when you're drivin' Gby
So Em7I just write down, "D/F#Jesus Saves" 'causе there Gain't no way I can fit that on Da sign Em7
D/F#I can't fit Gthat on a DsignEm7 D/F# G
[Verse 2]
DI took him to a diner, I bought him a cup of coffee
GHe asked me if he could bum a couple dollars off me
Em7He told me his D/F#story, I told Gmine
Em7He said, "Thanks 'cause most D/F#folks around here would Gnever take the time"
He said, "DI lost my Emjob down at the D/F#mill when that Gfactory closed
DArmy stopped Em7sendin' me them D/F#checks, the bank took Geverything I owned"
DHitchhiked my Em7way up to ChiD/F#cago, the Gnights were too damn Dcold
I hopped the Em7train, headed westD/F# 'cause I had Gnowhere else to go
[Chorus]
Em7 It's hard to see D/F#all that drivin' byG
So Em7I just write down, "D/F#Jesus Saves" 'causе there Gain't no way I can fit that on Da sign Em7
D/F#There ain't no way to Gfit that on a DsignEm7 D/F# G
[Verse 3]
Em7I probably would've wrote D/F#down a little Gmore
If I Em7could've found a D/F#bigger piece of Gcardboard
DMy brother Em7Walter was my Dhero
But he was Gbad to drink
DOne night, he Em7laid his Harley D/F#down
Near that OGhio River Bank
DMe and my ex-Em7wife tried for D/F#kids when we were datin'G
DHell, we even had Em7baby names picked D/F#out
But little Walter Gdidn't make it
[Out-Chorus]
Em7 It's hard to see D/F#all that drivin' byG
So Em7I just write down, "D/F#Jesus Saves" 'cause there Gain't no way I can fit that on Da signEm7
D/F#Can't fit Gall that on Da signEm7 D/F# G
