Chorus:
E (w/u) A E
George Jones and Jesus are two heroes of mine
EAEB
One is only human and the other one divine
EAEAE
When I could not find a friend I found out that I had two
AEBE
George Jones and Jesus, pulled me through
E
When a man is on the bottle
AE
He may not cry for help
E
But he needs to know he's not alone
B
In hell all by himself
EAE
Those songs old George was singing
AE
They somehow eased the hurt
AE
And Jesus did not turn me out
BE
When a bar room was my church

Now the possum ain't no savior
BF#
But he never claimed to be
F#
And Jesus hung out with a crowd
C#
Of troubled souls like me
F#BF#
Now you can't find a George Jones classic
BF#
In a big black book of hymns
BF#
But I'm living proof that Jesus saves

In a smokey place like this
