         800 LB JESUS    Sawyer Brown

D                          G   

I saw a garage sale pulled up in the yard

          D                      A

Found a statue of Jesus It was eight feet tall

     D                       G

He held out his arms and he seemed all alone

       D                  Em         A 

So I loaded him up and I drove him home

D                       G

Out by my driveway he looks down the street

       D 

Long hand sandels made of rebar and concrete

      D                      G    

I painted him white with a long purple robe

        D                     Em      A

He's a rock of the ages on a gravel road

CHORUS:

         D                    G             Em            A   D D A

He's an eight hundred pound Jesus Standing taller than a tree

         D                   G              A              D   D G A D 

He's an eight hundred pound Jesus a bigger man than you or me





D                                G

I thought losing my job was the end of the world

         D                    A  

Till my best pal ran off with my best girl

    D                 G 

I felt suicidal with no real friends

       D                    Em         A

So I walked outside with a rope in my hands

D                             G

Out by that statue there's a big oak tree

       D                            A

So I stood on his shoulders and I counted to three

D                          G

I had every intention of buying the farm

             D                     Em      A 

But when I jumped off he caught me in his arms

Go to chorus

D                        G

I wanted to return the favor to him

D                          A

Cause I never had a more solid friend

D                                G

So I planted some flowers all around his feet

        D                     Em      A 

And I bought him a flock of ceramic sheep  go to chorus, ending

ENDING:

               A              D   D G A D 

He's a bigger man than you or me.
