[Verse 1]
      D
Well I ain't never been an angel
        G                   D
I ain't never been called a saint
      G.                   D
Yeah, I've decorated every €…bar in town
       Bm                   A
With a big red coat of paint
 
    D
But good thing I had a good raisin'
            G                      D
For all the Hell I've raised since then
          G                 D
When that roll is called up yonder
  Bm                          A
I know they're gonna let me in
 
 
[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
          G                    D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
    D
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
       G                            D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
 
       D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
      G                     D
Might have a little rust on my halo
    Bm                         A
But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
       G                                D    G D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
 
 
[Verse 2]
    D
Now I've been a little more cold beer
     G                    D
Than holy water, it's true
     G                            D
More Saturday night on an old bar stool
       Bm                A
Than a Sunday morning pew
 
    D
But even old Hank Williams
G                    D
Finally saw the light
     G                     D
And, oh hallelujah, I have too
    Bm                         A
And it ain't just the neon kind
 
 
[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
       G                        D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
    D
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
       G                            D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
 
       D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
      G                        D
Might have a little rust on my halo
    Bm                         A
But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
       G                            D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah
G                      D                D    G A
Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
D             G                 D
Whoa, I got a long, long way to go
D             G                 A
Whoa, but I'm gonna get there I know
 
 
[Chorus]
                   D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
       G                    D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
    D
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
       G                      A
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
 
       D
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
      G                     D
Might have a little rust on my halo
    Bm                   A
But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
       G                                 D
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
G                      D         D
Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
                  G                  D
Yeah he does, and he ain't letting go

Overall not too bad at all, but there are some mistakes. This song is actually in E and not D, which means you would have to play it with a capo on the 4th fret and not on the 2nd if you want to play along to the original. Also...can you remove the full stop from line nr 3 in Verse 1 , cos it means users can't transpose the song at all. Thanx 😉
