Three Nails And A Cross By George Strait 9/11/2011 I'm not 100% convinced I have the right chord at the end of the 5th line in the chorus...and the 2nd to last line... Capo 1 G Em G Em G Em He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house C G Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee G Em I was walkin' by on my way home C G Stopped and said, hello, how are ya Em A7 He looked at me and said, I've seen better days C D I looked at him and said, there's a better way Chorus: G Three nails and a cross C G Equal forgiveness G Em Just like you, I was lost A7 C D And that's hell to have to live with Em Bm I've sat on the front porch where you're sittin' now G A7 I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured out G D G Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodiles Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore Like the boy who swore he always would but doesn't She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head Chorus 2: Three nails and a cross Equal forgiveness Lord help me 'cause I'm lost And that's hell to have to live with I need you more than ever now, without a doubt I've made a big mistake, can you help me out G D Em Bm Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness G D G Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
