[Intro]
G (x4)
[Verse 1]
G
It's gospel night at the strip club
C G
Been sleepin' in my car
G D
I lead the singin' service with a half-ass tuned guitar
G C
Brandy's singin' backup while Lonnie's tendin' bar
G D G
Just waitin' for more sinners to show up
[Verse 2]
G
Crystal just started dancin'
C G
She's always right on point
G
She don't mind if you don't tip her
D G
As long as you slip her a joint
G
Patti's got an upper
C G
To get her through her shift
G D G
And a downer so she can lay down with the kids
[Chorus]
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C D G
Jesus loves the drunkards and the whores and the queers'
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
G D G
Would you recognize him if he bought you a beer
[Verse 3]
G
Lonnie, he's a listener
C G
He shoulda been a priest
G D G
It's the same confession on a barstool or your knees
G C G
He makes a mean Manhattan but he ain't drank since '93
G D G
Does the last call benediction then wipes the bar slate clean
[Chorus]
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C D G
Jesus loves the drunkards and the whores and the queers'
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
G D G
Would you recognize him if he bought you a beer
[Verse 4]
G C G
The same old dirty dollars, keep gettin' passed around
G D
To whoever needs 'em most and I guess that's me right now
G C
Cause I'm starin' at this Jackson someone laid here at my feet
G D
That's gas in my ol' Honda and somethin' warm to eat
[Chorus]
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C D G
Jesus loves the drunkards and the whores and the queers'
G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
G D G
He laid down a twenty, and then he disappeared
