MY DOG JESUS Kurt Fortmeyer - capo 3rd fret
Strum Pattern Bass string DU you can also improvise with the chords removing a finger here
and there that s how Kurt plays it
[Verse 1]
I found Jesus in the fall of 99
He was living with a Mexican in the trailer next to mine
I got down on my knees
He walked right up to me and licked my face
Old Pablo said He likes you so I guess that you re okay
I said What s his name
[Chorus]
N.C
That s my dog Jesus now before you get all mad
There s lots of reasons why he s got a name like that
He s a shepherd and a good one
He s Man s best friend and then some
He loves me and forgives me no matter what I do
The kind of friend who d give his life for you
N.C
That s my dog Jesus
[Verse 2]
I found Jesus on my porch at 4 AM
I couldn t stand to hear him crying I got up to let him in
That s when I saw the light
From the trailer next to mine burning down
By sunrise Shady Acres was a patch of smoking ground
And Jesus was nowhere to be found
[Bridge]
Twelve people searched the rubble calling out his name
The firemen must have thought we all were crazy
But like the rest I knew I could have perished in those flames
And I would have too except that Jesus saved me
[Verse 3]
N.C
I found Jesus cause of what that dog showed me
I was baptized three days later in a church right down the street
My sins were washed away
I was crying as I prayed but through my tears
I heard that preacher saying hey who brought that dog in here
And Pablo he answered loud and clear
[Chorus]
N.C
That s my dog Jesus now before you get all mad
There s lots of reasons why he s got a name like that
He s a shepherd and a good one
He s Man s best friend and then some
He loves me and forgives me no matter what I do
The kind of friend who d give his life for you
N.C
That s my dog Jesus
That s my dog Jesus
Thank you Jesus
End on G
