[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ I work [F#] from the wise don't [G#m] try to make life on your own _ _
[B] _ _ Remember that [F#] judge just [G#m] by your side _ For I [B] was a [F#] soul who was loved _
[G#m] And my life was in dismay _ _
[B] For among [F#] evil forces in which I [G#m] played _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ Guns and [F#] ammunition _ [E] were my chosen way of life _
With [B] _ _ God [F#]-bearing people I [E] chose to strive _ _ For all of the [B] _ lives [F#] that are taken
They [E] can never be _ replaced _
_ [B] But still judge [F#] I chose to remember [E] my face
_ _ Though I [B] never _ lived [F#] like he wanted _ [E] I'm still mindful of what he taught me
So now [B] I beg and plead I'm [F#] on my bending knees
[E] God's father you rescued me I've got [B] the _ scars [F#] to _ show
I [E] barely made it along life's road Cause [B] when my life got dark
He [F#] was the only spark He was the [E] light at the end of the road _
_ [B] _ When I was [F#] a young boy [G#m] Growing up in Augustown _ _
[B] We _ ate from [F#] the same pot [G#m] We were Indians all around _ _
[B] From _ gold [F#] I took color and color not [G#m] _ From rock up to jungle 12th _ [B] _ diamond
Bryce Hill to [F#] Dred Hexham River all [G#m] around _ _ _ And [B] then the football ground [F#] became a battlefield
[E] And my life seemed so surreal _
_ [B] _ _ People were [F#] falling all around
[E] _ But you helped me to stand my ground [B] Only John, _ [F#] only John
[E] Would have helped me to stand my ground Though I [B] never lived [F#] like he wanted _
[E] I was mindful of what he taught me So now [B] I beg and plead I'm on [F#] my bending knees
[G#m] God's father you rescued me And I've [B] got the _ scars to [F#] show
I [G#m] barely made it along life's road Cause when [B] my life got dark
He was [F#] the only spark [G#m] The light at the end of the road
Oh, _
_ [B] _ _ never [F#] lived to please him [G#m] _ And never lived like I should
[B] _ Father _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] you rescued me Oh [F#] _ _ _
_ [G#m] yeah _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ I've lived and [F#] I've learned I've [E] made mistakes along the way _
_ [B] Now I beg for [F#] forgiveness _ [E] Each day as I try to pray _
_ [B] _ So take it [F#] from me son _ [E] You can change the world today _
_ [B] And I'm living [F#] proof _ [E] Living proof that crime doesn't pay
For I [B] never lived [F#] like he wanted _ [G#m] I was mindful of what he taught me
So [B] now I beg and plead I'm [F#] on my bending knees
[G#m] Cause father you rescued me And I've [B] got the _ scars [F#] to show
I [G#m] barely made it along life's road Cause [B] when my life got dark
He [F#] was the only spark [G#m] The light at the end of the road
I never _ [B] lived [F#] like he wanted _ [E] I was mindful of what he taught me
So [B] now I beg and plead I'm [F#] on my bending knees
[E] Cause father you rescued me And I've [B] got the _ scars [F#] to show
I [E] barely made it along life's road Cause [B] when my life got dark
He [F#] was the only spark [E] The light at the end of the road
So I [B] never _ lived [F#] like he wanted [G#m] I was mindful of what he taught me
I'm on [B] my bending knees I [F#] ask the father please
_ [G#m] Father you rescued me And I've got [B] the _ scars [F#] to show
I [G#m] barely made it along life's road _ Cause [B] when my life got dark
