Amen

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
        G                         Cadd9
I was sitting at the corner of the bar doing fine
  Am7                                   G
I didn't need his conversation, but I guess he needed mine
 
He was slurring his words and stumbling around as he walked right up to me
            Am7                                     G
Shoved his finger in my face and started quoting Jeremiah 33
       D                                          Am7
In a whiskey daze he fell to his knees, someone shouted hey wino
 D                       Am7                             D
What would you do now if God himself walked through the door
N.C.
And he just picked himself up off the floor
 
[Chorus]
             C              D              G             D/F#  Em
He said I'd ask him if it hurts to die and do you really see a big bright light
   Cadd9                     D                     G             D/F#         Em       Cadd9
Is this world something you did just for fun, and did you really cry when you lost your son
 C                  D              G       D/F#   Em
I'd ask him if he'd let a guy like me come like I am
            D                    Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me amen
 
[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em D Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
   G                              Cadd9
Could've heard a pen drop as that drunk stumbled on outside
Am7                                   G
I sat there with all them questions running through my mind
               G                                       Cadd9
There ain't nothing like losing the love of a woman to leave a man feeling lost
       Am7                                      G
I guess me and that old wino we weren't that different after all
       D                                   Am7
And I knew I needed to talk to God, it had been such a long time
D                            Am7                    D
In that backstreet alley, underneath all the neon lights
N.C.
I just said what came to mind
 
[Chorus]
        C              D               G             D/F#  Em
And I asked him if it hurts to die and do you really see a big bright light
   Cadd9                     D                     G             D/F#          Em      Cadd9
Is this world something you did just for fun, and did you really cry when you lost your son
 C                  D              G       D/F#   Em
I'd ask him if he'd let a guy like me come like I am
            D                    Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me amen
    G D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen
 
[Chorus]
     C                   D             G       D/F#   Em
And I'd ask him if he'd let a guy like me come like I am
            D                     Cadd9
And is she ever coming back to me
    G  D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen
    G  D/F# Em D Cadd9
Oh amen
