Intro: G   C    G    Cioi

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

Chorus:

      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               G6               A9                A
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
      C              D          G
And that's just the way He was raised

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

Chorus 2:

         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                 G6          A9              A
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say
      C              D          G
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

       C          A74
On a cross, on a hill
      C                  G
That longhaired boy was killed
         C           A74
All our sins washed away
         C                   D
When He walked out of that grave
      C                         C     *(optional progression)       D
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
         G             D/F#
there's no way we can measure
    Em
The sacrifice He made
     C          G6
He knew He had to die
        A9       A
For our debt to be paid
      C              D          Em
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
    C                G6    A9          A
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
      C              D          G
And that's just the way He was raised
        C              D          G
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
