Chorus:
G#                          C#     D#
Jesus and Elvis painted on velvet hanging
                       G#
at the bar here every night
                                        C#
It’s good to be back again ah, me and my old friends
         D#                                   G#
Neith a neon cross and a string of Christmas lights

C#                         G#         C#
Lola built this joint in ’67 and her boy
                               G#
went off to fight on Christmas Eve
      C#                  G#      D#   Fm
In a war nobody won, she lost her only son
    A#                              D#
Now everything he loved is what you see

Chorus

Mama told them Jesus loves a sinner
His daddy said that music saved his soul
Between the drunkards and the band
It's a fitting promise land
For the King of Kings and the king of rock and roll

Chorus

          C#                           G#
So if you need a shot of whiskey and redemption
           C#                     G#
Where the delta meets the Sea of Galilee
     C#                         G#  D#     Fm
Get washed in the Blood of the Mississippi mud
 A#                                   D#
Come all you Non-believers and you’ll see

Chorus

By and by, Lord, by and by
