Bad Debt album version
Tuning: EADGAE (tune the B string one step down)
Capo IV
I've mostly used 'normal' chord names, so as not to make it too convoluted.
In this tuning the correct chord names would be a bit different.
Suggested shapes (in order of appearance):
A5 002200
C/G 332000 (C6/G)
Em 022000 (Emadd4)
G 320003 (Gadd9)
D x00202
F/C x3320x

C/G G D C/G
Now I'm bound for Nazareth town with all the mistakes I've made
C/G G D A5
Well God is good and it's understood, but he moves in mysterious ways
C/G G D C/G
He saw it all, my folderol, my rough and rowdy friends
C/G G D A5
in fact I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6, when he showed up in the back
C/G G D C/G
So goodbye sweet Genevieve and goodbye my Tulsa friends
C/G G D A5
But hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
C/G G D C/G
Just as well I was going to hell, I wasted everything
C/G G D A5
no more shooting pool, no getting drunk, now I'm gone to see the king
Chorus:
G D C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G D C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in
C/G G D C/G
I spent some time in Jerusalem where I tried my best to behave
C/G G D A5
and I told the town how they cut Him down and He rose up from the grave
C/G G D C/G
Would you believe they laughed at me, no they would not leave me be
C/G G D A5
Next thing I know I was skipping stones on the Sea of Galilee
-Chorus-
G D C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G D C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in

C/G G D C/G
The time will come when the chosen one He calls on us in thanks
C/G G D A5
He loves us all but the ones who fall hold a special place in his ranks
C/G G D C/G
At least I hope this is how it goes, since I'm just about out of breath
C/G G D A5
So hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
-Chorus- 2x
G D C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G D C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G D A5 Em C/G F/C G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in
