Cody Johnson - Amen

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
I was sitting at the corner of the bar doing fine
Am7 G
I didn’t need his conversation, but I guess he needed mine

He was slurring his words and stumbling around as he walked right up to me
Am7 G
Shoved his finger in my face and started quoting Jeremiah 33
D Am7
In a whiskey daze he fell to his knees, someone shouted hey wino
D Am7 D
What would you do now if God himself walked through the door
N.C.
And he just picked himself up off the floor

[Chorus]
C D G D/F# Em
He said I’d ask him if it hurts to die and do you really see a big bright light
Cadd9 D G D/F# Em Cadd9
Is this world something you did just for fun, and did you really cry when you lost your son
C D G D/F# Em
I’d ask him if he’d let a guy like me come like I am
D Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me amen

[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em D Cadd9

[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
Could’ve heard a pen drop as that drunk stumbled on outside
Am7 G
I sat there with all them questions running through my mind
G Cadd9
There ain’t nothing like losing the love of a woman to leave a man feeling lost
Am7 G
I guess me and that old wino we weren’t that different after all
D Am7
And I knew I needed to talk to God, it had been such a long time
D Am7 D
In that backstreet alley, underneath all the neon lights
N.C.
I just said what came to mind

[Chorus]
C D G D/F# Em
And I asked him if it hurts to die and do you really see a big bright light
Cadd9 D G D/F# Em Cadd9
Is this world something you did just for fun, and did you really cry when you lost your son
C D G D/F# Em
I’d ask him if he’d let a guy like me come like I am
D Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me amen
G D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen

[Chorus]
C D G D/F# Em
And I’d ask him if he’d let a guy like me come like I am
D Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me
G D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen
G D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen
