I know this isn't perfect so any feedback/changes would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I'll admit I did this on a tenor ukelele, but I think it'll transfer OK to guitar. 
Enjoy, it's a beautiful song.
FMMMMDmMMMBbMM   FMMMMMCMMBbMM
Took a Fcab to the city to Dmclear my Fmind
I drank my Fway through the streets and in the DmSailoBbrtown
I Bbtook so much stuff I thought I'd Dmnever come Cdown
Made me Ffeel much better than I'd Dmfelt for Bbawhile
I found Fgirls that helped me up from Dmfalling Fdown
I never Fonce gave my heart out, never Dmlet them Bbinside
There was just too many Fghosts, and Dmtoo much Ccrime
My Fheart wasn't fit to be the Dmloving Bbtype
With Bbdreams of better Gmdays in Cmind
O FLord, won't you see me through to Dmbetter Bbtimes
And Bbif I don't make it Dmout aClive
Put my Fname on a chair right Dmby your Bbside
FMMMMMDmMMMBbMM   FMMMMMMCMMBbMM
I took a Fjob there singing almost Dmevery Fnight
Entertaining Fhearts more Dmbroken than Bbmine
BbWaiting for a Dmlight to Cshine
To lead Fme right out of my Dmdark dBbecline
With Bbdreams of better Gmdays in Cmind
O FLord, won't you see me through to Dmbetter Bbtimes
And Bmif I don't make it Dmout Calive
Put my Fname on a chair right Dmby your Bbside
FMMMMMDmMMMBbMM   FMMMMMMCMMBbMM
Took a Fcab to the city to Dmclear my Fmind
I ended Fup with a mind needing CexorcisBbed
With Bbdreams of better Gmdays in Cmind
O FLord, won't you see me through to Dmbetter Bbtimes
And Bbif I don't make it Dmout Calive
Put my Fname on a chair right Dmby your Bbside
And Bbif I don't make it Dmout Calive
Put my Fname on a chair right Dmby your Bbside

F Dm Bb F C Bb

MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM

F Dm F

Took a cab to the city to clear my mind

F Dm Bb

I drank my way through the streets and in the Sailortown

Bb Dm C

I took so much stuff I thought I'd never come down

F Dm Bb

Made me feel much better than I'd felt for awhile

F Dm F

I found girls that helped me up from falling down

F Dm Bb

I never once gave my heart out, never let them inside

F Dm C

There was just too many ghosts, and too much crime

F Dm Bb

My heart wasn't fit to be the loving type

Bb Gm C

With dreams of better days in mind

F Dm Bb

O Lord, won't you see me through to better times

Bb Dm C

And if I don't make it out alive

F Dm Bb

Put my name on a chair right by your side

F Dm Bb F C Bb

MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM

F Dm F

I took a job there singing almost every night

F Dm Bb

Entertaining hearts more broken than mine

Bb Dm C

Waiting for a light to shine

F Dm Bb

To lead me right out of my dark decline

Bb Gm C

With dreams of better days in mind

F Dm Bb

O Lord, won't you see me through to better times

Bm Dm C

And if I don't make it out alive

F Dm Bb

Put my name on a chair right by your side

F Dm Bb F C Bb

MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM

F Dm F

Took a cab to the city to clear my mind

F C Bb

I ended up with a mind needing exorcised

Bb Gm C

With dreams of better days in mind

F Dm Bb

O Lord, won't you see me through to better times

Bb Dm C

And if I don't make it out alive

F Dm Bb

Put my name on a chair right by your side

Bb Dm C

And if I don't make it out alive

F Dm Bb

Put my name on a chair right by your side
