[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Am C
Found a nail in the road today
F D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am C
Picked it up and put it away
F D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
F D
It would be such a shame
F D E7
To catch a flat tire out here in the rain
[Verse 2]
Am C
Walked along just singing a song
F D
And I sang about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am C
Felt the syllables roll off my tongue
F D
As I sang about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
F D
Temporarily trouble free
F D E7
Even the birds were singing with me
[Verse 3]
Am C
Got in a van with a handful of men
F D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am C
Tried to focus on the matter at hand
F D
But I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
F D
Put on the mask, pull out the gun
F D E7
Gimme the money and I won’t hurt no one
[Chorus]
F C
I’ve been working on a building
E7 Am
Though I know it ain’t yet right
F C
I’ll keep working on a building
E7 Am
Every day and every night
[Interlude]
Am
[Verse 4]
Am C
I saw fire and I heard something pop
F D
Thought I heard Jesus, heard Jesus
Am C
Realized it was me that was shot
F D
I thought I heard Jesus, heard Jesus
F D
Blood flowing and the hole so wide
F D
Made me think about the day that He died
[Verse 5]
Am C
Held the nail as I fell to the floor
F D
I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am C
Drew a cross in the puddle of blood
F D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
F D
This job was too big for one man
F D E7
Wish I would’ve lent my Jesus a better hand
[Chorus]
F C
I’ve been working on a building
E7 Am
Though I know it ain’t yet right
F C
I’ll keep working on a building
E7 Am
Every day and every night
[Interlude]
Am
[Verse 6]
Am C
It’s all going black, it’s all turning red
F D
But I can see Jesus, see Jesus
Am C
Bending over me, kissing my head
F D
I can see Jesus, see Jesus
[Outro]
Am C F E7
I can see Jesus
Am C F E7
I can see Jesus I can see Jesus
Am C F E7
I can see Jesus I can see Jesus
Am C F E7
I can see Jesus I can see Jesus
Am C F E7
Am C F E7
