Slim Dusty – In My Hour Of Darkness (Guitar)

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

A                         G                 D
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed

D
Once I knew a young man, went driving through the night

A                                   G                  D
Miles and miles without a word, but just his high beam lights

G               D                           G              D
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly hairpin bend

   A                                G                 D
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

A                         G                 D
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed

 D
Another young man safely strummed his silver stringed guitar

        A                            G                 D
That he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star

    G             D                G               D
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess

        A                      G           D
And the music he had in him so very few possess

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

A                         G                 D
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed

D
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age

    A                                  G              D
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page

      G                 D             G                 D
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend

      A                                    G                 D
And I knew his time could shortly come but did not know just when

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

A                         G                 D
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

A                         G                 D
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
