Johnny Cash – If I Give My Soul (Ukulele)

C                             F                 C 
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing 

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

               C              F                C 
Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner 

       F                 C                          C 
I have come in search of Jesus, hping he will understand 

                           F                       C 
If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearin'? 

             F                                 G 
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet? 

            C            F           C 
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness 

        F                      C         G   
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to  

C 
me? 

                            F                C 
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle 

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

               C          F            C 
I had a steady job, til I started into drinkin' 

       F              C                G        
Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's  

C 
band 

                  F                        C 
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles 

               F                               G 
Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind 

                    C              F                 C 
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live  

             F          C               G               
If I make my peace with Jesus, will she take me back  

 C 
again? 

             F                                C 
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking? 

             F                          G 
If I give my soul, will my son love me again? 

             C             F              C 
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it 

     F               C               G             C         
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again? 

             F                                   C 
If I give my soul, will he clean the clothes I'm wearin' 

             F                                 G 
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet 

            C             F              C 
If I bow my head, and beg God for his forgiveness   

        F                      C         G            
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to 

C 
me?
