[Verse]
A D A
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
E
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
A D A
Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner
D A E A
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
[Chorus]
D A
If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearin'?
D A E
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet?
A D A
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
D A E A
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to me?
[Verse]
A D A
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
E
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
A D A
I had a steady job, til I started into drinkin'
D A E A
Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's band
[Chorus]
D A
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles
D A E
Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
A D A
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
D A E A
If I make my peace with Jesus, will she take me back again?
[Chorus]
D A
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking?
D A E
If I give my soul, will my son love me again?
A D A
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
D A E A
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again?
D A
If I give my soul, will he clean the clothes I'm wearin'
D A E
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
A D A
If I bow my head, and beg God for his forgiveness
D A E A
Will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to me?
