	  		Verse 1: 
      D                               G                  D  
	Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standing 
                                                      A 
	With a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my hand 
                        D               G                D    
	Such a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinner 
                 G                 D           A             D          
	I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand 
 
 
Verse 2: 
      D                             G                D   
	I had a woman once,she was kind and she was gentle 
                                               A 
	Had a child by me,who grew up to be a man 
                        D          G             D   
	I had a steady job,til i started into drinking 
                G              D              A                D    
	And i started making music that went with the devil's band 
 
 
Verse 3: 
      D                    G                        D      
	Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles 
                        G                              A 
	My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind 
                         D             G                 D 
	It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for 
              G                   D              A             D 
	If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again 
 
 
Chorus: 
      D               G                                      D 
	If i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin' 
                      G                                A   
	If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feet 
                     D            G              D   
	If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness 
                  G                   D                A            D   
	Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity 
 
 
Chorus bis: 
      D               G                                D 
	If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking 
                      G                         A    
	If i give my soul,will my son love me again 
                      D             G              D    
	If i give my soul,and she knows i really mean it 
              G                D             A             D       
	If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

      D       G                D             A             D  
	If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
