D                             G                 D
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
                                              A
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
               D              G                D
Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner
       G                 D                          D
I have come in search of Jesus, hping he will understand


                                                      
                           G                       D
If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearin'?
             G                                 A
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet?
            D            G           D
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
        G                      D         A  
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to 
D
me?

                            G                D
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
                                       A
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man                 
               D          G            D
I had a steady job, til I started into drinkin'
       G              D                A       
Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's 
D
band

                  G                        D
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles
               G                               A
Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
                    D              G                 D
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live 

for
             G          D               A              
If I make my peace with Jesus, will she take me back 
 D
again?

             G                                D
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking?

If I give my soul, will my son love me again?
             D             G              D
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
     G               D               A             D        
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again?

If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
            D             G              D
If I bow my head, and beg God for his forgiveness  
        G                      D         A           
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to
