And his barbed wire halo
Continues with the same rhythm as the first verse. He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth He lost the will to love He lost the will to live Until he met a man who taught him to forgive Yeah life took him to hell and back To hell and back a time or two But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue Singin' "I once was lost But now I'm found Was blind But now I see" (Chorus)

And though I told him that I wouldn't you know I couldn't help but lie

                 Dm             C
Cause today he joined up with Jesus

I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold

    Dm          C                      G 
As sure as the old church bell still rings
