Intro"   G    C     D    G    C  D  
If CI could haDve a beer Gwith Jesus,
CHeaven knowDs I'd sip it nicGe and slow
I'd Ctry to picDk a place that ain't Emtoo crowded
or glCadly go wherever he wants tDo go
You can Cbet I'd orDder up a couGple tall ones
and teCll the waitDress put 'em Gon my tab
IC'd be sure Dto let him do Emthe talkin'
Ccareful when I got the chance Dto ask
Chorus:
HoGw'd you turn Bmthe other cCheDek
To Gsave a sorBmry soul likCe Dme
Do you Emhear the prayers I send what Bmhappens when life ends
And wChen you think you're comin' back Dagain
I'd tell CeveryoneD, but no one wEmoulDd Cbelieve it
If I Ccould have Da beer Gwith Jesus
G   C   D
If CI could have Da beer Gwith Jesus,
I'd Cput my whole Dpaycheck in Gthat jukebox
I'd Cfill it up witDh nothing buEmt the good stuff,
Csit somewhere we couldn't see Da clock
Chorus:
hoGw'd you turn Bmthe other cCheekD  
To Gsave a sorBmry soul likCe meD  
Have you Ebeen there from the start,
how'd you Bchange a sinner's heart
And is Cheaven really just beyond tDhe stars
I'd tell Ceveryone, bDut no one wEould bDeliCeve it
If CI could havDe a beer Gwith Jesus
He can Eprobably only staBmy, for just a couple rounds
But I Chope and pray he'd stay until Dwe shut the whole place down
Chorus:
Ask him Ghow'd you turn thBme other cheCekD  
To Gsave a sorrBmy soul like CmeD  
What's Eon the other side? Is mBmom and daddy alright?

I'd tell Ceveryone, bDut no one wEould bDelievCe it
If CI could haDve a beer Gwith Jesus
I'd tell Ceveryone, Dbut no one wEould bDelieve Cit
If CI could have a Dbeer witGh Jesus
