PROPS GO TO: Brian Baker

This is from The Gear Daddies album "Let's Go Scare Al". It's very similar to the Zamboni Machine.

Kind of a country strum, alternating the root and the next string up, like this:

                   STATUE OF JESUS
                         by
                   The Gear Daddies


  Em                        Am                        Em
I'm just sittin' downtown, cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
  Em                      Am                   Em
Both of us so lonely and cold hope no one can see us
   B                          Am                  Em
I know I'm drunk yeah, but I don't think that he cares
   B                           Am             Em
Surely He must understand the crosses that I bear
                               Am                        Em
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus


Sometimes I think she's right I ain't worth a shit
A wife and kids to feed and here I sit
I try so hard but I just don't think I fit
Daddy always said everything I touched would turn to shit
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus

Harmonica Solo:

Did thirty days hard for stealin' cigarettes
How's a man s'posed to tell his children that
I try so hard but I just don't think I fit
Daddy always said everything I touched would turn to shit
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
  Em               Am                       Em
Sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
                           Am                         Em
I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
