Intro.: | (A) | (A) | (G) | (D) | (D) |
(D)In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
(A)Oh, Lord, grant me vision, (G)oh, Lord, grant me (D)speed
(D)Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
(A)Miles and miles without a word with (G)just his high-beam (D)lights
(Chorus 1)
(G)Who'd have ever (D)thought they'd build such a (G)deadly Denver (D)bend
To (A)be so strong, to take as long as (G)it would till the (D)end
Inst.: | (A) | (A) | (G) | (D) | (A) | (A) | (G) | (D) |
(D)In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
(A)Oh, Lord, grant me vision, (G)oh, Lord, grant me (D)speed
An-(D)other young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
And he (A)played to people everywhere, (G)some say he was a (D)star
(Chorus 1)
But (G)he was just a (D)country boy, his (G)simple songs con-(D)fess
And the (A)music he had in him, so (G)very few pos-(D)sess
(D)In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
(A) Oh, Lord, grant me vision, (G)oh, Lord, grant me (D)speed
Inst.: | (A) | (A) | (G) | (D) |
(D)Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
And (A)he read me just like a book and he (G)never missed a (D)page
(Chorus 2)
And I (G)loved him like my (D)father, and I (G)loved him like my (D)friend
And I (A)knew his time would shortly come, but I (G)did not know just (D)when
(D)In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
(A)Oh, Lord, grant me vision, (G)oh, Lord, grant me (D)speed
