CHORUS
           D           
do you feel his hand on your shoulder
D                             G
the way that i feel on mine
                D                                       G
for if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness
           C                   G                    D
he can put you walkin on a straighter line

D                      C                                   D  
for many years i struggled, demons on my back
                         C                    D
never thought i'd see the light of day
                                       C
an em demons fought like hell
                         D
to pull me to the black
                          C                  D
and never did the good lord turn away

D           G                                                    D
i thought whiskey and cocaine would ease my sorrows
       G                                     D
but it only took me closer to the grave
D      G                             D
i was livin for today and not tomororow
  Em                                          A
i believe my soul's too far gone to save


CHORUS
           D           
do you feel his hand on your shoulder
D                             G
the way that i feel on mine
                D                                       G
for if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness
           C                   G                    D
he can put you walkin on a straighter line

D                        C                                         D
sun rising sunday morning sendin people off to chrurch
                    C                    D
find me havin never seen the bed
                            C                                                D
i was sinking, ever sinking, feeling things were getting worse
            D            C               D
saw my body in a casket lyin dead

G                                        D
surrounded by strangers in a prison
       G                               D
with no where to turn but on high
          G                                       D
having wasted every blessing i was given
             Em                                            A
i prayed lord please give me grace before i die

           D           
do you feel his hand on your shoulder
D                             G
the way that i feel on mine
                D                                       G
for if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness
           C                   G                    D
he can put you walkin on a straighter line
           C                   G                    D
he can put you walkin on a straighter line
