  Verse 1:

        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 fool,God ain't known no greater sinner

                   G                 D           A             D         

  	I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand

  

  

  Verse 2:

        D                             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 drinking

                  G              D              A                D   

  	And i started making music that went with the devil's band

  

  

  Verse 3:

        D                    G                        D     

  	Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles

                          G                              A

  	My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind

                           D             G                 D

  	It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for

                G                   D              A             D

  	If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again

  

  

  Chorus:

        D               G                                      D

  	If i give my soul,will he cleanse 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            D  

  	Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity

  

  

  Chorus bis:

        D               G                                D

  	If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking

                        G                         A   

  	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

  

  

  Chorus bis.

  

        D       G                D             A             D 

  	If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
