VERSE:
A                              (G)              D                     A
If you should meet some lonely soul who on this earth can't reach his goal
                                           E
And he's traveling down a road so dark and dim (dark and dim)
       A           (G)          D                   A
Lend a hand say a prayer give a smile that he might share
                                     E              A
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
 A                                    E              A
(But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him)

VERSE:
Befriend each stranger in the night help to make his burdens light
Lift up the fallen ones and be a friend (be a friend)
Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by 
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
 A           E              A
(It could be you instead of him)

TAG:
Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by 
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
(It could be you instead of him)


*The G chords in parenthesis are not played
in the recording, but I think they sound good.
