Jesus I Need To Talk To You Chords & Lyrics - Boxcar Willie

Intro: Follow pattern of line of first verse*
[D]Last night my little [D7]boy, knelt [G]down beside his
[D]bed
He put his hands together, [E]then he bowed his [A7]head
He said [D]Jesus up in [D7]Heaven, I [G]need to talk to [D]You
* [D]My Mama Always said, You'd [A7]know what to [D]do

[D]I just don't under- [D7] -stand, why [G]Mom was called a- [D]way
But Daddy said that we, will [E]understand some- [A7] -day,
But [D]since my Mama's [D7]gone, oh [G]things are not the [D]same,
Sometimes at night, I hear [A7]Daddy call her [D]name

[D]Please tell my [D7]Mama, [G]that I'm being [D]good
I'm doing all the things, [E]that she said I [A7]should
I'm [D]trying so very [D7]hard, to [G]be her little [D]man
[D]And each night before supper, I [A7]wash my face and [D]hands

Instrumental: Same as Intro

[D]Please tell my [D7]Mama, [G]that I miss her [D]so
And oh how I love her, but [E]this You already [A7]know
And [D]there's just one [D7]thing more, to [G]say before I'm [D]through,
Jesus I feel better, [A7]when I talk to [D]You

[TALK THIS PART]
[D]Well I just stood there in the [D7]hallway, with
[G]tears running down my [D]cheeks. My little boy crawled
into bed, and [E]soon was fast a- [A7] -sleep.
But I [D]knew he'd found an inner [D7]strength, and it [G]would always see him [D]through

[SING THIS LINE]
And I said Jesus up in Heaven, I [A7]need to talk to [D]you
