Johnny Cash - Why Me Lord


  ---(capo 1st fret)---



INtro - A - E - B7 - E - B7




(Verse 1)
        E                      A
Why me Lord, what have I ever done, 
                 E                          B7 
To deserve even one Of the pleasures I've known, 
         E                    A
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do,
                      E           B7               E - E7
That was worth loving you Or the kindness you've shown,



(chorus)
A                          E
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it, 
            B7                 E - E7
so Help me Jesus I know what I am,
A                          E
Now that I know that I've need you, 
            B7                       E
so Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand,


(verse 2)
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way, 
I can try to repay All I've taken from you Maybe Lord, 
I can show someone else, 
What I've been through myself On my way back to you,



(chorus)
A                          E
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it, 
            B7                 E - E7
so Help me Jesus I know what I am,
A                          E
Now that I know that I've need you, 
            B7                       E
so Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand,

Too bad Johnny Cash is no longer alive... I could tell him just how this song made me weep as I tried to sing it. But, I am sure that it did the same to many others, I am not the only one.

Yours in Christ,

Kris Kristoferson's was the writer on this song and it's one of his best. Jonny Cash did a wonderful job in performing it.
