[Chorus] He’s the property of Jesus Resent him to the bone You’ve got something better     N.C.           | A | % | % | % | You got a heart of stone [Interlude] | | % | % | % | [Chorus] He’s the property of Jesus Resent him to the bone You’ve got something better     N.C.           | A | % | % | % | You got a heart of stone       (repeat and face)
