Biography:
As one of Texas’s hottest young touring acts, Aaron Watson has earned his musical stripes the hard way; on the road, traveling thousands of miles to hundreds of honky-tonks across the Southwest and beyond. And for this rising star, the payoff could not have been sweeter than one magical night this past February when he stepped on stage at the legendary Texas Hall of Fame in Bryan, TX, where so many heavyweights had stood before him, to record his latest release.

[Intro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Well God bless Texas and Decon Shackleford
Cadd9 G
He read the bible seven times
Cadd9 G
And he believed every word
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
Cadd9 G
Singin' "Amazing Grace
Cadd9 G Cadd9 D G
How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
Cadd9 G
He'd take me fishin' after church
Cadd9 G
And taught me things I needed to know
Cadd9 G
No, Deacon didn't have a family
Cadd9 G
Lord knows he wished he did
Cadd9 G D G
He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
[Chorus]
Am G
And today he joined up with Jesus
D G
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
Am G
We sang a few gospel hymns
D D
And then the soldier played taps
Am G D Em
I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
Am G D
Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And his barbed wire halo
[Verse 3]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He was on a ship off at sea when she died in childbirth
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth
Cadd9 G
He lost the will to love
Cadd9 G
He lost the will to live
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
Cadd9 G
Yeah life took him to hell and back
Cadd9 G
To hell and back a time or two
Cadd9 G D G
But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Singin' "I once was lost But now I'm found
Cadd9 D G Cadd9
Was blind but now I see"
[Chorus]
Am G
And today he joined up with Jesus
D G
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
Am G
We sang a few gospel hymns
D D
And then the soldier played taps
Am G D Em
I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
Am G D
Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D
And his barbed wire halo
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
Cadd9 G D G
And though I told him that I wouldn't you know I couldn't help but lie
[Chorus]
Am G
Cause today he joined up with Jesus
D G
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
Am G
We sang a few gospel hymns
D D
And then the soldier played taps
Am G D Em
I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
Am G D
As sure as the old church bell still rings
Am G D
He always said he had country in his soul
Am G D
He's showing off his brand spanking new wings
G
And his barbed wire halo
[Outro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D
Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Swing low sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
