Johnny Cash – If I Give My Soul (Guitar)

A                             D                 A
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing

                                              E
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand

               A              D                A
Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner

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

             D                                 A
If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearin'?

             D                  A              E
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet?

            A            D           A
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness

        D                  A         E                     A
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to me?

A                           D                A
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle

                                       E
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man

               A          D            A
I had a steady job, til I started into drinkin'

       D              A                E                A
Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's band

                  D                        A
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles

               D                A              E
Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind

                    A              D                 A
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for

             D          A               E            A
If I make my peace with Jesus, will she take me back again?

             D                                 A
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking?

             D              A          E
If I give my soul, will my son love me again?

             A             D              A
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it

     D               A               E            A
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again?

             D                                   A
If I give my soul, will he clean the clothes I'm wearin'

             D               A                 E
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet

            A             D              A
If I bow my head, and beg God for his forgiveness

        D                      A         E                 A
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to me?
