This is Flatfoot 56's song from Jungle of the Midwest Sea.
A great song and super easy to play.
Some good lyrics if you like gospel.
Enjoy, should be close to perfect; even added the mandolin part for an interlude.
Chords are basic G, Cadd9, and Dsus4 which can be played as regular D.
Introduction (Played quietly on the track)
Now it's the same old sGtory, I was Dsus4young,
I was Cadd9naive, and I was dGumb. Dsus4  
My pops said stGand, But then I Dsus4ran
Into the tCadd9rap of, Satan's pGlan.Dsus4  
And the dGog that spread those Dsus4lies
And Cadd9with those lies I Gran.Dsus4  
Just like the wGater reflects the Dsus4face,
So the Cadd9heart reflects the Gman.Dsus4  
(Full volume)
I was a wGreck, doped up and dDsus4rugged.
Against my cCadd9hains I, I would have GtuggeDsus4d.
And then he sGaved me, called me his Dsus4one.
And to the Cadd9father, I became a Gson.Dsus4  
And the Gdog that spread those Dsus4lies,
And wCadd9ith those lies I Gran.Dsus4  
Just like the wGater reflects the Dsus4face,
So the Cadd9heart reflects the Gman.Dsus4

(Single strums)
And On that hGill upon a Dsus4tree hung a Cadd9man who, who died for Gme.Dsus4  
And As he huGng there about to Dsus4die, I saw the Cadd9water pour from his Gside.Dsus4  
(Regular)
He said "My sGon, your sins are Dsus4vast,
But they are Cadd9gone now, thrown to the Gpast.Dsus4  
Walk with me nGow boy, through fields of Dsus4green,
In this pool of Cadd9water your face I've Gseen.Dsus4"

And to the Cadd9Father I became a Gson.Dsus4
