Tonalità: A minor
Intro 1
Bm
Verse 1
D
When I was but a young man,
Bm
wild and full of fire
D
A youth within my teens but
Bm
full of challenge and desire
D
I ran away from home and left
Bm
my mother and my dad
G
A
It grieved them so to think that
Bm
their only son was bad
D
Bm
I fell in with an outlaw band their names
were known quite well
D
How many times we'd robbed and
Bm
plundered I could never tell
D
Bm
This kind of sinful living will lead only to a fall
G
A
I learned that much and more
Bm
the night I heard my Master call
A
G
D
One night we rustled cattle
G
D
A thousand head or so
G
D
And led them down the trail
Bm
that leads to Mexico
A
G
A
When a norther started blowing,
D
G
and lightning flashed above
D
G
I thought someone was calling me,
A
D
thought I heard a shout
At that moment lightning struck
F#m
not twenty yards from me
G
And left there was a giant cross
D
where once there was a tree
This time I heard a voice,
A
a voice so sweet and plain
D
A voice that came from everywhere
Bm
A voice that called my name
D
So frightened I was thinking of
Bm
the sinful deeds I'd done
D
I failed to see the thousand
Bm
head of cattle start to run
D
The cattle they stampeded and
Bm
were running all around
G
A
My pony ran but stumbled
Bm
and threw me to the ground
G
D
I felt the end was nearing,
G
D
that death would be the price
G
D
When a mighty bolt of lightning
Bm
showed the face of Jesus Christ.
G
A
D
G
I cried "oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now,
D
G
A
D
I want to live for you along, God these words I vow."
F#m
My wicked life unfolded and I thought of wasted years when an
G
D
other bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers.
The others rushed on by me,
A
and I was left to live.
D
The master had a reason life
Bm
was his to take or give.
D
A miracle performed that night I
Bm
was n't meant to die.
D
The dead ones formed a barricade
Bm
least six or seven high
D
Bm
Right behind it there was I afraid
but safe and sound
G
A
I cried and begged for mercy,
B
Bm
kneeling there upon the ground.
D
A pardon I was granted,
Bm
and my sinful soul set free
D
No more to fear the angry waves
Bm
upon life's stormy sea
D
Forgiven by the love of God,
Bm
a love that will remain
G
A
I gave my life and soul the night
Bm
the savior called my name
G
A
I gave my life and soul the night
Bm
F#
Bm
the savior called my name
