[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
    G
You probably don't
remember me
                C
'Cause you were high
                G
 and all strung out
            G
But I'm the guy that spared
your life last week
         D
When you broke into my house
            G
No, I ain't been havin'
nightmares
     C
Just dreams of whippin'
      G
your ass
  G
I hear hard time,
it ain't no fun
   D                 G
Be thankful for that glass

[Pre-Chorus]
  Em
I rehearsed it in my mind
    D
How things would go today
C
Practiced what I'd tell you
    D
And all I gotta say is

[Chorus]
      G
Jesus loves you
      C                    G
He'll forgive you for your sins
          Em
And He'll be there waitin'
 for you when
     D
Your time on this
 earth ends
            G
Yeah, Jesus loves you
       C               G
Lordy, all it takes is faith
           Em
And if you come near
        D
 me and mine again
             F
You're gonna meet Him
         G
 face to face

[Verse 2]
G
I bought you this Bible
      C              G
Don't worry, it's on me
  G
I know it's a lot of pages
    D
But you got time to read
           G
'Cause the paper said
you got three years
   C                    G
So while you're in that cell
           Em
You better find a way
    D
 to find Him
        C        Bb6
Or I'll send you straight
     G
to Hell

How to play Jesus Loves You: key, chords and progression

These are Jesus Loves You chords by Cody Johnson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Jesus Loves You by Cody Johnson is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 6 chords in all: G, C, D, Em, F and Bb6.

Listen for G – C – G – Em (I – IV – I – vi in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F and Bb6 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
