Ty England - Backslider's Prayer guitar chord

INTRO: G Am7 C G

G

He said I know this ain't the time or place

Am7

But Lord I need to talk

C

In a business suit in a corner booth

G

In a crowded little restaurant

G

We all tried not to listen

Am7

We all tried not to look

C

But a whole room full of customers

D

And the waitress and the cook

Em C G

All stopped what we were doing when he bowed his head

Em C D

In that silence we heard every word he said

G C

CHORUS: I've been trying to do things my way

D G

Down here on life's highway

C G

Slippin' slidin' sideways

D

Between no way and nowhere

G C

If I could only gain a foothold

D Em D

Up there on your high road

C G

Lord if you hear me help me

C G

I'll do anything you tell me to

C G

All I've got to offer you is this

D (G)

Backslider's prayer

INTRO

G

Well the waitress made the first move

Am7

When she filled his coffee cup

C

She said you ain't alone here mister

G

You're speaking for the rest of us

G

I heard some scattered amens

Am7

And a couple of I've been there's

C

Then things got back to normal

D

The dishes and the silverware

Em C

Were clanging in the kitchen

G

Like an angel's band

Em C

As I took my place in line

D

To shake his hand 'cause

CHORUS

SOLO: G C D G C G D D

G C

If I could only gain a foothold

D Em D

Up there on your high road

C G

Lord if you hear me help me

C G

I'll do anything you tell me to

C G

All I've got to offer you is this

D C G

Backslider's prayer
