Chords

[Intro] A D [Verse 1]
D
It was on one dark and starless night

                         D
I heard and saw an awful sight

D
The lighting flashed and the thunder roared

     A7                    D
All around this drunkard's feet
[Verse 2]
D
I started home to change my life

                         D
To see my long neglected wife

D
I found her kneeling by her bed

             A7               D
She said our darling baby was dead
[Instrumental] D A7 D [Verse 3]
D
I took her by her trembling hand

                              D
She was so weak she could not stand

D
On bended knees I prayed a prayer

               A7                  D
That God might save and protect us there
[Verse 4]
D
Who preached like Paul who once did say

                               D
Our sins have all been washed away

D
That whiskey stay as far from me

                A7                    D
As the mountain is from the deep blue sea
[Outro]
D
It was on one dark and starless night

                         D
I heard and saw an awful sight

D
The lighting flashed and the thunder roared

     A7                    D
All around this drunkard's feet
