John Wayne and Jesus ukulele

John Wayne and Jesus

• G

Notes: On "George's Bar" the song is played with a capo on the  
third fret, but he plays it with a capo on the second fret live.  I  
think it sounds better on the second.  Anyway, the picking at the  
begining is very easy.  As he picks the Low E and A strings, he lightly  
picks the upper three strings.  I'll only tab the two bass strings. The  
rest is easy enough to figure out, only picking the Low E and A strings  
sounds fine anyway. In the chorus, he does a walk down from G to Em.   
It's not hard to figure out.  This is my very first tab, let me know  
what you think.  LONG LIVE TEXAS MUSIC. 
 
 
       G                        C 
I met John Wayne and Jesus when I was just a kid 
      G                                  C                               
They both had on their cowboy hats just like I pictured them 
   G                                C 
I stood up at the front of the class waving my American Flag 
            G           D              G 
saying the pledge sang amber waves of grain. 
 
 
           C            D        G 
chorus: 	 I sing all the songs of America 
       C              D            G 
 	 Danced in the rain in Lafayette 
 	     C              D       G <--walkdown--> Em 
 	 I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus 
              C               D                G 
 	 and I know that is as good as life can get  
 
additional lyrics: 
 
I had a big time when I was dwon in Houston 
I fell in love and I mover to New Orleans 
Well, she said "so long" and I'm here all alone 	  
She's still got a little bitty piece of me 
 
Chorus 
 
Well John Wayne and Jesus moved to Hollywood 
Workin' behind the scenes on MTV 
me I'm still right down here in Texas 
I know that's where I was always meant to be 
 
Chorus
