[Intro]
E C#m Cadd9 E 2x

[Verse 1]
E                 C#m
I was 13 when my daddy taught
            Cadd9       E
me about the man upstairs
    E
He taught me how to live and
   C#m
he taught me how to give and
   Cadd9              E
he taught me how to care
    E                      C#m
And I ain't never been the one
       Cadd9         E
with a good reputation
        E                    C#m
But if that man’s taught me anything
         Cadd9          E
then it ought to be patience
     E                 C#m
And I'll admit I ain't never been
            Cadd9         E
the one to show up to church
     E                   C#m
But that doesn't mean my knees
don't hit the ground and
   Cadd9                E
my praying hands don’t work

[Chorus]
E               C#m
Me and Jesus we got it worked out
        Cadd9               E
I don't need no middle man
E                   C#m
I'll do the begging He’ll do
             Cadd9               E
the blessing well go hand in hand
    E                   C#m
He helped me through my lowest lows
          Cadd9              E
struck me down in my highest highs
    E                 C#m
And when I need some saving I
    Cadd9            E
just look to the Oklahoma sky

[Verse 2]
     E                C#m
Well I found God in a hard days
        Cadd9               E
work and mama's home fried chicken
    E                C#m
And I found God in a good running
            Cadd9          E
truck and a steady day of fishing
    E                  C#m
And I ain’t saying that I
           Cadd9      E
won’t be at church on sunday
E                C#m
All I’m saying is I found
      Cadd9           E
God in many different ways

[Chorus]
E               C#m
Me and Jesus we got it worked
            Cadd9               E
out I don't need no middle man
E                   C#m
I'll do the begging He’ll do the
         Cadd9               E
blessing we’ll go hand in hand
     E                    C#m
He’s helped me through my lowest
               Cadd9              E
lows struck me down in my highest highs
    E                     C#m
And when I'm needing some saving
       Cadd9            E
I just look to the Oklahoma sky

How to play Me N Jesus (Acoustic): key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Me N Jesus (Acoustic) by Zach Bryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Me N Jesus (Acoustic) by Zach Bryan, think in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 3 chords: E, C#m and Cadd9.

Listen for E – C#m – Cadd9 – E (II – vii – ♭VIIadd9 – II in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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