Misc Originals – 07K - Grace My Saviour Showed To Me (Guitar)

 C             F      C
Upon a winding forest road

  C             F        G
I met a soldier far from home

  Am            F  C
I saw he was my enemy

     F                G     C
So I aimed at him and he at me

   C                F       C
Prepared was I, but load to shoot

    C             F       G
And he, uncertain what to do

  Am                 F      C
A cold sweat formed upon my brow

       F                  G         C
But we both kept rank and stood our ground

    C                 F       C
And then, the curious thing occurred

   C               F    G
On wings arrived a tiny bird

    Am              F      C
And troubled not by war or peace

    G             F   C
She sang for us a melody

[Chorus]
      F     C         Am    G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        F       Am      G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      F     C         Am    G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        F                       G       C    F  G C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

  D               G     D
I did not move or look away

D                G         A
Lest my life, my foe would take

    Bm            G       D
Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright

       G            A        D
Just a boy like me afraid to die

    D               G      D
The meadowlark sang on and on

     D                G          A
Then more arrived and joined the song

    Bm          G     D
And as I held my rival stare

  G                 A          D
A tremendous chorus filled the air

     D               G        D
Then in my heart, as clear as day

  D              G       A
I heard a gentle whisper say

   Bm           G     D
My son, if my disciple be

     G                   A  D
Show grace and love your enemy

[Chorus]
      G     D         Bm   A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        G       Bm     A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      G     D         Bm   A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        G                       A       C   A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

     E                  A    E
With swell of birds sung all around

E           A     B
Lowered I my rifle down

    C#m            A      E
And as my foe took aim at me

  A                   B     C    D
I showed him yield on bended knee

   E                A          E
He faltered then and shook with fear

    E               A       B
And from his eye, he wiped a tear

    C#m           A        E
His gaze was as a brothers bond

    A                   B     E
And then, he turned and he was gone

[Chorus]
      A     E        C#m   B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        A       C#m     B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      A     E        C#m   B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        A                       B      C#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

        A                       B      E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

   E               A        E
If I should live to see more days

  E               A        B
I pray the Lord to guide my ways

     C#m              A  E
With grace to love my enemy

    A                B        E
For grace, my Savior showed to me

     C#m              A  E
With grace to love my enemy

    A                B        A
For grace, my Savior showed to me
