Chord/Tab song: Backslider's Prayer

INTRO: G Am7 C G

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

But [Am7]Lord I need to talk

In a [C]business suit in a corner booth

In a [G]crowded little restaurant

[G]We all tried not to listen

We [Am7]all tried not to look

But a [C]whole room full of customers

And the [D]waitress and the cook

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

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

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

[D]Down here on life's [G]highway

[C]Slippin' slidin' [G]sideways

Between [D]no way and nowhere

If I could [G]only gain a [C]foothold

[D]Up there on your [Em]high road[D]

Lord [C]if you hear me [G]help me

I'll do [C]anything you [G]tell me to

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

[D]Backslider's[(G)] prayer

INTRO

Well the [G]waitress made the first move

When she [Am7]filled his coffee cup

She said [C]you ain't alone here mister

You're [G]speaking for the rest of us

[G]I heard some scattered amens

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

Then [C]things got back to normal

The [D]dishes and the silverware

Were [Em]clanging in the [C]kitchen

Like an angel's [G]band

As I [Em]took my place in [C]line

To shake his [D]hand 'cause

CHORUS

SOLO: G C D G C G D D

If I could [G]only gain a [C]foothold

[D]Up there on your [Em]high road[D]

Lord [C]if you hear me [G]help me

I'll do [C]anything you [G]tell me to

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

[D]Back[C]slider's [G]prayer
