D                            BmPreacher gave it to him when he was eight,
                    F#m                         GThat Sunday morning he got saved in that little church
D                      Bm Grandaddy totted it to Bible school
                   F#mI bet back then it looked brand new,
            G             Emnot a faded word, now the cover's torn
        G                      Dand the leather's worn on that Old King James

   BmHe took it with him overseas
F#mEngland, France and Germany
G                            DRight there in the middle of hell
BmSaid he read it every night
   F#mHe swore that it saved his life
    Em                               AHis only hope when there was no hope left
            G   A    DWas in that Old King James

                         F#m                              GAnd she would just start missing him, I'd see her pick it up
        EmNow the cover's torn
        G                      Dand the leather's worn on that Old King James

       Bm You'll find on every other page
F#mYellow lines or tear drop stains
G                          DEvery chapter of that good book
             BmBeen through cancer, war and crazy kids
F#mAll the stupid things I did

                    GAnd I said, "Yes Ma'am"
