If I Give My Soul Chords by Johnny Cash

[A] Get off stage, Cash.
Exactly.
_ _ Okay.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Down a dangerous road _
[D] I have [A] come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart
_ And my hat [E] clutched in my hand
Such a foolish [A] man
_ [D] God [A] ain't known no greater sinner
[D] I have come [A] in search of Jesus
[E] Hoping he [A] will understand
[D] If I give my soul
Will he clean [A] these clothes I'm wearing?
[D] If I give my soul
[A] Will he put new [E] boots on my feet?
_ If I bow [A] my head
[D] And beg God [A] for his forgiveness
[D] Will [A] he breathe new life within me
[E] And bring her back [A] to me?
I had a woman once
_ She was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me
_ Who grew up to [E] be a man
I had a steady [A] job _
[D] Till I [A] started into drinking
[D] Then [A] I started making music
[E] Traveling with the [A] Devil's band
Oh, [D] the years went by
Like a mighty [A] rush of egos
Our [D] dreams and plans
[A] Were all scattered [E] in the wind
And it's a [A] lonesome life
[D] When you [A] lose the ones you live [D] for
If I make [A] my peace with Jesus
[E] Will they take me back [A] again?
_ [D] If I give my soul
Will he stop [A] my hands from shaking?
_ [D] If I give my soul
[A] Will my son [E] love me again? _
If I give [A] my soul
[D] And [A] she knows I really mean [D] it
[A] If I give my soul to Jesus
[E] Will she take [A] me back again?
_ [D] If I give my soul
Will he clean [A] these clothes I'm wearing?
_ [D] If I give my soul
[A] Will he put new [E] boots on my feet?
If I bow [A] my head
And [D] beg [A] God for his forgiveness
[D] Will he breathe new [A] breath within me
[E] And bring her back [A] to me? _ _
