G                         C            D                       G
Jesus and Elvis painted on velvet hanging at the bar here every night
                                         C
It’s good to be back again oh, me and my old friends
        D                                    G
Beneath a neon cross and a string of Christmas lights

Lola built this joint in ’67 and her boy went off to fight on Christmas Eve
        Am                 G           Em
In a war nobody won, she lost her only son
     A                             D
Now everything he loved is what you see

Lola told him Jesus loves a sinner
      C                             D
And his daddy ttold him music saved his soul
            Am                               G             Em
Between the drunkards and the band, it’s a fittin’ promised land
       A                                      D
For the King of Kings and the king of Rock n’ Roll

It’s good to be back again oh, me and my old friends
       D                                     G

So if you need a shot of Dickel or redemption
           C                     D
Where the delta meets the Sea of Galilee
    Am                           G         Em
Get washed in the Blood of the Mississippi mud
A                                    D
Come all you Non-believers and you’ll see
