Backsliders Prayer chords by England Ty


England Ty Chords


BACKSLIDER'S PRAYER - Ty England
-------------------------------

Written by Mark D. Sanders and Bob Regan
>From the "Two ways to fall" CD


INTRO: G Am7 C G

        G
He said I know this ain't the time or place

    Am7
But Lord I need to talk

     C
In a business suit in a corner booth

     G
In a crowded little restaurant

G
We all tried not to listen

   Am7
We all tried not to look

      C
But a whole room full of customers

        D
And the waitress and the cook

    Em                   C                       G
All stopped what we were doing when he bowed his head

        Em               C             D
In that silence we heard every word he said

                  G                   C
CHORUS: I've been trying to do things my way

        D                   G
        Down here on life's highway

        C                G
        Slippin' slidin' sideways

                D
        Between no way and nowhere

                   G           C
        If I could only gain a foothold

        D                Em        D
        Up there on your high road

             C              G
        Lord if you hear me help me

                C            G
        I'll do anything you tell me to

        C               G            
        All I've got to offer you is this

        D           (G) 
        Backslider's prayer

INTRO

         G
Well the waitress made the first move

         Am7 
When she filled his coffee cup

         C
She said you ain't alone here mister

       G
You're speaking for the rest of us

G
I heard some scattered amens

      Am7
And a couple of I've been there's

     C
Then things got back to normal

    D 
The dishes and the silverware

     Em              C 
Were clanging in the kitchen

                G
Like an angel's band

     Em               C
As I took my place in line
 
             D
To shake his hand 'cause

CHORUS

SOLO: G C D G C G D D

           G           C 
If I could only gain a foothold

D                Em        D  
Up there on your high road

     C              G
Lord if you hear me help me

        C            G
I'll do anything you tell me to

C               G
All I've got to offer you is this

D   C        G
Backslider's prayer

INTRO
