A Living Prayer (updated)

"I play this in DADGAD tuning, in D position, capoed at the seventh fret. It's a nice tuning  
 
for ringing, open chords. In our live version, Dan plays in standard tuning out of G position,  
 
." 
 
The chords below are basically what Ron has on his website, although the picking patterns I  
came up with.  I also added the transitional A/C# that Ron included. 
 
Please read Ron's words on "A Living Prayer".     
 
Many thanks, Ron 
 
It makes me sick how much easier this is rather than my prior post.  Oh well, that's why Ron  
 
is on tour with Alison Krauss and I'm not.... 
 
Tuning: DADGAD,  
 
Fret positions relative to capo - chords are absolute

        A              E 
In this world I walk alone 
        D    E           A       
With no place to call my home 
E          A       A/C#     D 
But theres one who holds my hand 
           A    E              A     E 
The rugged road through barren lands 
           A                E 
The way is dark the road is steep 
    A/C#   D   E          A 
But He's become my eyes to see 
    E           A        A/C#      D 
The strength to climb my griefs to bear 
           A    E          A 
The Savior lives inside me there 
 
 
(Chorus) 
E/G#      F#m D          A      
In You're love I find release 
  E/G#  F#m D       E 
A haven from my unbelief 
        A        A/C#   D 
Take my life and let me be 
         A     E         A 
A living prayer my God to Thee 
 
 
In these trials of life I find 
Another voice inside my mind 
He comforts me and bids me live 
Inside the love the Father gives 
 
In You're love I find release 
A haven from my unbelief 
Take my life and let me be 
A living prayer my God to Thee 
Take my life and let me be 
a living prayer my God to Thee
