The Way He Was Raised Chords & Lyrics by Josh Turner
The Way He Was Raised
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: G C G Cioi
G
He always wore those worn out flip-flops
Em
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop
C
He loved being on the water
G (C G)
Fishing with His friends
G
He always listened to the old folks
Em
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes
C
Didn't talk back to his Mama
G
When she got onto Him
Chorus:
C
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
G D/F# Em
Had to finish all His chores 'fore He could go outside and play
C G6 Asus2 A
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
C D G
And that's just the way He was raised
G
He grew His hair out when He got older
Em
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
C
Started hanging with the outcasts
G (C G)
When He went off to town
G
Some called Him a troublemaker
Em
Even some said a lawbreaker
C
No matter how they talked about Him
G
He never put nobody down
Chorus 2:
C
'Cause that's just the way He was raised
G D/F# Em
When people start to gossip, He'd just walk away
C G6 Asus2 A
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say
C D G
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
C A7sus4
On a cross, on a hill
C G
That longhaired boy was killed
C A7sus4
All our sins washed away
C D
When He walked out of that grave
C C *(optional progression) D
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
G D/F#
there's no way we can measure
Em
The sacrifice He made
C G6
He knew He had to die
Asus2 A
For our debt to be paid
C D Em
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
C G6 Asus2 A
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
C D G
And that's just the way He was raised
C D G
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
