[Strophe]
  C          D        G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus, 
C          D               G 
Heaven knows I'd sip it nice and slow 
   C          D                   Em 
I'd try to pick a place that ain't too crowded 
     C                          D 
or gladly go wherever he wants to go 
       C          D           G 
You can bet I'd order up a couple tall ones 
      C          D            G 
and tell the waitress put 'em on my tab 
 C         D             Em 
I'd be sure to let him do the talkin' 
C                             D 
careful when I got the chance to ask
[Refrain]
  G            Bm         C D 
how'd you turn the other cheek 
  G          Bm         C D 
To save a sorry soul like me 
       Em                          Bm 
Do you hear the prayers I send what happens when life ends 
     C                               D 
And when you think you're comin' back again 
         C       D             Em D C 
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it 
    C          D      G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus

  C            D      G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus, 
   C            D            G 
I'd put my whole paycheck in that jukebox 
   C              D           Em 
I'd fill it up with nothing but the good stuff, 
C                             D 
sit somewhere we couldn't see a clock
[Refrain]
  G            Bm         C D 
how'd you turn the other cheek 
  G          Bm         C D 
To save a sorry soul like me 
         Em 
Have you been there from the start, 
          Bm 
how'd you change a sinner's heart 
       C                          D 
And is heaven really just beyond the stars 
         C          D          Em D C 
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it 
   C          D        G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus
[Strophe]
       Em                 Bm 
He can probably only stay, for just a couple rounds 
      C                             D 
But I hope and pray he'd stay untill we shut the whole place down
[Refrain]
       G                 Bm         C  D 
Ask him how'd you turn the other cheek 
  G           Bm          C  D 
To save a sorry soul like me 
       Em                      Bm 
What's on the other side? Is mom and daddy alright? 
    C                                     D 
And if it ain't no trouble tell them I said hi 
         C          D          Em D C 
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it 
   C         D        G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus  
         C         D           Em D C 
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it 
   C             D        G 
If I could have a beer with Jesus
