How to play "Jesus Don't Give Up On Me" by Hank Williams on guitar

Playing style for this song is a sincere request, hence it should be shown in
the performance. Strum gently to let the words take the stage.
Mostly stressing A, D, E, and C#m, the chords are somewhat simple.

Keeping it light and constant, a decent strumming pattern may be
"Down, down-up, down-up, down." This allows the song to keep its
reflecting attitude. Stress the downstrokes to provide a consistent
pulse and let the upstrokes offer a softer touch.

Pay close attention to the often occurring transitions between
A, D, and E throughout the song. The C#m chord creates some
tension, hence be sure you go smoothly to and from this chord
as it is essential to capture the feeling of the song.

Particularly while switching from D to C#m, concentrate on the
fluidity of your chord changes during the verses. 
"I've let you down Jesus" requires a neat transition to preserve
the flow and feeling.

With its "Jesus, don't give up on me," the chorus - the emotional center
of the song—is playing suggestions. Strum somewhat harder to
underline the desperation in the words, but keep it under control to
preserve the song's general sad tone.

Bridge/Outro:
The outro runs "Jesus, don't give up on me." Allow the last to be A chord
ringing out to let the song conclude softly mirrors the concept of 
the song by allowing a sense of unanswered begging.

Common errors:
Strumming too aggressively: Remember to keep your strumming soft to
correspond with the reflected character of the song.
Skipping the C#m chord transition: From both A and D, practice going to
the C#m chord to guarantee you can hit it cleanly every time.

Song facts:
Hank Williams' poignant gospel song "Jesus Don't Give Up On Me" With
the vocalist seeking pardon and another opportunity from Jesus, it reflects
a great inner struggle. The songs address ideas of atonement, pardon,
and the hope for divine patience. Like many of Williams' gospel songs,
it uses a melody that accentuates the emotional plea together with
straightforward yet forceful words.
