G#m9 D#
Well God bless Texas
G#m9 D#
And Deacon Shackleford
G#m9 D#
He read the bible seven times
G#m9 D#
And he believed every word
G#m9 D# G#m9 D#
That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
G#m9 D# G#m9 D#
He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
Singin'
G#m9 D#
"Amazing Grace
G#m9 D#
How sweet the sound"
G#m9 A# G#m9
That saved a wrech like me
G#m9 D# G#m9 D#
He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
G#m9 D#
He'd take me fishin' after church
G#m9 D#
And taught me things I needed to know
G#m9 D#
No, Deacon didn't have a family
G#m9 D#
Lord knows he wished he did
G#m9 D# A# D#
He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
Chorus:
Fm D#
And today he joined up with Jesus
A# D#
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
Fm D#
We sang a few gospel hymns
A# A#
And then the soldier played taps
Fm D# A# C
I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
Fm D# A# (let ring out)
Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
D#
And his barbed wire halo
Continues with the same rhythm as the first verse.
He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo
He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth
He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth
He lost the will to love
He lost the will to live
Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
Yeah life took him to hell and back
To hell and back a time or two
But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
Singin'
"I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now I see"
(Chorus)
G#m9 D# G#m9 D#
Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
G#m9 D# G#m9 D#
And though I told him that I wouldn't you know I couldn't help but lie
Fm D#
Cause today he joined up with Jesus
A# D#
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
Fm D#
We sang a few gospel hymns
A# A#
And then the soldier played taps
Fm D# A# C
I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
Fm D# A#
As sure as the old church bell still rings
Fm D# A#
He always said he had country in his soul
Fm D# A# (let ring out)
He's showing off his brand spanking new wings
D#
And his barbed wire halo
G#m9 D# G#m9 D# G#m9 A#
Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
G#m9 D# G#m9 D# G#m9 D# A# G#m9
Swing low sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
