[Verse]

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


[Verse 2]

                            F                C
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
                                       G
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
                           F            C
I had a steady job, 'til I started into drinking
        F       C               G                C
Started playing music travelin' with the devil's band


[Chorus]

                  F C       F      C/E  F  C
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
              F              C                G
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
                C              F                 C
It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
     F                  C               G            C
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again


[Chorus 2]

             F     C       F       C/E   F    C
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking
             F             C            G
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
             C             F              C
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
     F               C              G             C
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

[Chorus 3]

             F     C       F           C/E     F   C
If I give my soul, will He clean these clothes I'm wearing
             F                 C               G
If I give my soul, will He put new boots on my feet
            C             F              C
If I bow my head, and beg God for His forgiveness
        F                  C              G                 C
Will he breathe new breath within me, and bring her back to me
