If I Give My Soul Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[F]Down a dangerous road I have [Bb]come to where I'm [F]standing
With a heavy heart and my hat clutched in my [C7]hand
Such a foolish [F]man God ain't [Bb]known no greater [F]sinner
I have [Bb]come in search of [F]Jesus hoping [C7]He will under[F]stand

If I give my [Bb]soul will He clean these clothes I'm [F]wearing
If I give my [Bb]soul will He put [F]new boots on my [C7]feet
If I bow my [F]head and beg [Bb]God for His for[F]giveness
Will He [Bb]breathe new life within [F]me and bring [C7]her back to [F]me

I had a woman once she was [Bb]kind and she was [F]gentle
Had a child by me who grew up to be a [C7]man
I had a steady [F]job till I [Bb]started into [F]drinking
Then I [Bb]started making [F]music [C7]traveling with the devil's [F]band

Oh the years went [Bb]by like a mighty rush of [F]eagles
Our dreams and [Bb]plans were all [F]scattered in the [C7]wind
And it's a lonesome [F]life when you [Bb]lose the ones you [F]live for
If I [Bb]make my peace with [F]Jesus will they [C7]take me back [F]again

If I give my [Bb]soul will He stop my hands from [F]shaking
If I give my [Bb]soul will my [F]son love me [C7]again
If I give my [F]soul and she [Bb]knows I really [F]mean it
If I [Bb]give my soul to [F]Jesus will she [C7]take me back [F]again
