Intro: G5   C5    G5    Cioi

G5
He always wore those worn out flip-flops
E5
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop
C5
He loved being on the water
                    G5     ( C5   G5 )
Fishing with His friends
G5
He always listened to the old folks
E5
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes
C5
Didn't talk back to his Mama
                   G5
When she got onto Him

Chorus:

      C5
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
        G5              D5                 E5
Had to finish all His chores 'fore He could go outside and play
     C5               G5               A5                A5
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
      C5              D5          G5
And that's just the way He was raised

G5
He grew His hair out when He got older
E5
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
C5
Started hanging with the outcasts
                     G5        ( C5    G5 )
When He went off to town
G5
Some called Him a troublemaker
E5
Even some said a lawbreaker
C5
No matter how they talked about Him
                     G5
He never put nobody down

Chorus 2:

         C5
'Cause that's just the way He was raised
      G5               D5   E5
When people start to gossip, He'd just walk away
   C5                 G5          A5              A5
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say
      C5              D5          G5
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

       C5          A5
On a cross, on a hill
      C5                  G5
That longhaired boy was killed
         C5           A5
All our sins washed away
         C5                   D5
When He walked out of that grave
      C5                         C5     *(optional progression)       D5
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
         G5             D5
there's no way we can measure
    E5
The sacrifice He made
     C5          G5
He knew He had to die
        A5       A5
For our debt to be paid
      C5              D5          E5
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
    C5                G5    A5          A5
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
      C5              D5          G5
And that's just the way He was raised
        C5              D5          G5
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
