If I Give My Soul

Billy Joe Shaver

 DGD
        Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standing
 A
        With a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my hand
 DGD
        Such a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinner
 GDAD
        I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand

Verse 2:
 DGD
        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
 DGD
        I had a steady job,til i started into drinking
 GDAD
        And i started making music that went with the devil's band

Verse 3:
 DGD
        Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
 GA
        My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
 DGD
        It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for
 GDAD
        If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again

Chorus:
 DGD
        If i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'
 GA
        If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feet
 DGD
        If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
 GDAD
        Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity

Chorus bis:
 DGD
        If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking
 GA
        If i give my soul,will my son love me again
 DGD
        If i give my soul,and she knows i really mean it
 GDAD
        If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

Chorus bis.

 DGDAD
        If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
