[Intro]
G / / C/G| G / / C/G|
[Verse]
G G
He always wore those worn out flip-flops
Em Em
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
He loved being on the water
G / / C/G|
Fishing with His friends
G G
He always listened to the old folks
Em Em
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Didn't talk back to his Mama
G
When she got onto Him
[Chorus]
C 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 / Em/B / A7sus4 / A7 /
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
Am7 / D / G / Em / G / Em /
And that's just the way He was raised
[Verse]
G G
He grew His hair out when He got older
Em Em
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Started hanging with the outcasts
G / / C/G
When He went off to town
G G
Some called Him a troublemaker
Em Em
Even some said a lawbreaker
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
No matter how they talked about Him
G
He never put nobody down
[Chorus]
C 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 / Em/B / A7sus4 / A7 /
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say
Am7 / D / G
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
[Bridge]
Em / A7 /
On a cross, on a hill
C / G/B /
That longhaired boy was killed
Em / A7 /
All our sins washed away
Am7 / D / D (hold)
When He walked out of that grave
[Chorus]
C (hold) C D Em D/F#
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
G / D/F#
there's no way we can measure
Em / A7 /
The sacrifice He made
C / G/B /
He knew He had to die
A7sus4 / A7 /
For our debt to be paid
Am7 / D / Em
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
C / G/B / A7sus4 / A7 /
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
Am7 / D / G / Em /
And that's just the way He was raised
Am7 / D (hold) G / / C/G|
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
G / / C/G| G (arpeggio)
