I got a Bible in [Dm] my home, I got a Bible [A] in my home, [D] well if I don't read [G] it and my [Bb] soul is [D] lost, ain't [F] nobody's fault [D] but [G] mine, [D] ain't [F] nobody's [D] fault but mine.
Well my mama taught me how to pray, my mama taught me [A] how to pray, [Dm] if I don't [G] pray and my [Bb] soul is [D] lost, ain't [F] nobody's [D] fault but mine, [G] [D] ain't [F]

[D]
Thank you very much!
That's a song by
[Bb] Blind Willie Johnson, who was a street corner evangelical preacher from Texas in the Depression years.
[D]
He used to accompany his sermons with a slide guitar and [Ab] it's odd that an evangelical preacher was one of the greatest blues [Dm] slide guitar players on record.
Usually you don't find the two things in the same place.
[D]
This tune is [Ab] on my Pass Through Here compilation and it's on my guitar instructional [D] DVD as well.
This is a traditional tune that I've been playing most of my life.
[G] [D]
It shows up in the blues and the string band repertoires by different players.
It's called Poor Boy.
