If God Is Dead Who Is This Living In My Soul
Loretta Lynn
Chronicles  2006
Capo 1
[Intro]
C G C  F  C
CHe put flowers on the hills, your cFup he gladly fills
How can you tCurn around and say God is dG7ead
But when your stCories have all been told
There's one thFing I'd like to know
If God is deCad who's this liG7ving for my CsouFl?C  
CHe gives us shelter from life's stormy weather
Gives us lFove to keep us together
When lCife gets like a ship on a raging G7sea
And when the stCage of life grows cold
Somebody hFelps us to play our role
If God is dCead who's this liG7ving for my CsouFl?C  
CIf my sG7oul had windows I'd leave them oCpen
So the world could see the uFgly scars
Upon those hands that cG7left for you and me
There's the brCidge you can cross if you will
The tFoll was paid on Golgota's hill
If God is dCead who's this liG7ving for my CsouFl?C  
CIf God is dead who's this liG7ving for my CsouFl?C
