[Verse 1]
N.C.          G
I was feeling bad
               C
I was all worn down
    Bm             C               G
I'd lost the sun behind an endless cloud
       Am                                D
Then I finally understood that childhood story
          Am                        D
That they shouted in our ears on Sunday morning
 
 
[Chorus]
        G
I found Jesus
F     C
Green Jesus
Bm               F      C      G
Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus
       C                                    G                Em
If our savior's name is sweet relief and he came to bring us peace
          D                      G
Then I'll pray each day to green Jesus
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I took a nice deep breath
                  C
I opened up those blinds
  Bm                C                  G
I heard my favorite song just like the first time
   Am
My neighbor asked, how are you?
       G          D
When I smiled and waved
      Am                                D
And I looked him in the eyes and I said, saved
 
 
[Chorus]
               G
'Cause I found Jesus
F     C
Green Jesus
Bm               F      C      G
Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus
     C
I'll close my eyes and breathe in deep
    G       G/B     Em
And welcome sweet relief
       D                      G
When I pray each day to green Jesus
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
G   C   Bm  C  G
 
 
[Fiddle Solo]
Am   D   Am   D
 
 
[Bridge]
C                     G
 Blessed rainfall and holy sun
      A                                 D         N.C.
Makes green, sacred green to share with everyone
 
 
[Verse 3]
                    G
Sometimes I get mean
                F
I forget to sing
                C
It builds up my tension
           Bm                 C
I've spent too long curling a fist
                    G
Now I'm trying to unclench them
  Am                             D
I never knew the deadheads in my high school class
  Am                         D              N.C.
I liked to show up early and talk too fast
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
              G
'Til I found Jesus
F     C
Green Jesus
Bm               F      C      G
Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus
             C
I guess I'll close my eyes and start to sing
    G        G/B      Em
And let that doorbell ring
       D
When I pray each day my whole way to green Jesus
             G
So I'll feel better
