  BACKSLIDER'S PRAYER - Ty England

  -------------------------------

  

  Written by Mark D. Sanders and Bob Regan

  >From the "Two ways to fall" CD

  

  

  INTRO: G Am7 C G

  

          G

  He said I know this ain't the time or place

  

      Am7

  But Lord I need to talk

  

       C

  In a business suit in a corner booth

  

       G

  In a crowded little restaurant

  

  G

  We all tried not to listen

  

     Am7

  We all tried not to look

  

        C

  But a whole room full of customers

  

          D

  And the waitress and the cook

  

      Em                   C                       G

  All stopped what we were doing when he bowed his head

  

          Em               C             D

  In that silence we heard every word he said

  

                    G                   C

  CHORUS: I've been trying to do things my way

  

          D                   G

          Down here on life's highway

  

          C                G

          Slippin' slidin' sideways

  

                  D

          Between no way and nowhere

  

                     G           C

          If I could only gain a foothold

  

          D                Em        D

          Up there on your high road

  

               C              G

          Lord if you hear me help me

  

                  C            G

          I'll do anything you tell me to

  

          C               G            

          All I've got to offer you is this

  

          D           (G) 

          Backslider's prayer

  

  INTRO

  

           G

  Well the waitress made the first move

  

           Am7 

  When she filled his coffee cup

  

           C

  She said you ain't alone here mister

  

         G

  You're speaking for the rest of us

  

  G

  I heard some scattered amens

  

        Am7

  And a couple of I've been there's

  

       C

  Then things got back to normal

  

      D 

  The dishes and the silverware

  

       Em              C 

  Were clanging in the kitchen

  

                  G

  Like an angel's band

  

       Em               C

  As I took my place in line

   

               D

  To shake his hand 'cause

  

  CHORUS

  

  SOLO: G C D G C G D D

  

             G           C 

  If I could only gain a foothold

  

  D                Em        D  

  Up there on your high road

  

       C              G

  Lord if you hear me help me

  

          C            G

  I'll do anything you tell me to

  

  C               G

  All I've got to offer you is this

  

  D   C        G
