Capo 5
[Verse]
on the highway of lCife for, yFears all alCone
I was aimlessly rambling, Dmy direction unknGown
no compass to Cguide me, tFolls to high to pCay
come and save me sweet Jesus, Dcome shoGw me the CwayF  C  
[Chorus]
show me the wCay Lord, Foh show me the wCay
He said straight is the gates son, Dand narrows the Gway
show me the wCay Lord, oh Fshow me the Cway
He said straight is the gates son, Dand naGrrows the CwayF  C  
[Verse]
then Jesus unrolled that, oFl' map of my lCife
I crossed mountains of trouble, wDent through valleys of Gstrife
he said take no more deCtours, aFnd round no more bCends
for here is the way that, yDou searcGh for my friCendF  C  
[Chorus]
show me the wCay Lord, Foh show me the wCay
He said straight is the gates son, Dand narrows the Gway
show me the wCay Lord, oh Fshow me the Cway
He said straight is the gates son, Dand naGrrows the CwayF  C  
[Verse]
then I went down that straight path, jFust like I was Ctold
and that narrow little trail turned, to a stDreet made of gGold
I'm out in the sCun now, I Fcan finally sCee
the whole time I was lost Lord, Dyou was walGking with CmeF  C  
[Chorus]
show me the wCay Lord, Foh show me the wCay
He said straight is the gates son, Dand narrows the Gway
show me the wCay Lord, oh Fshow me the Cway
He said straight is the gates son, Dand naGrrows the CwayF  C  
the whole time I was lost Lord, yDou was walkGing with CmeF  C
