Johnny Cash - If I Give My Soul

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 man , god ain’t known no greater sinner
G D D
i have come in search of jesus , hping he will understand

G D
if i give my soul , will he clean 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
will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to
D
me?

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 drinkin’
G D A
then i started makin’ music travellin’ with the devil’s
D
band

G D
oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles
G A
our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
D G D
and it’s a lonesome life , when you lose the ones you live

for
G D A
if i make my peace with jesus , will she take me back
D
again?

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?

G D
if i give my soul , will he clean the 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
will he breathe new breath within me and bring her back to
D
me?
