There's an [(C)]old tear stained, wo[(C7)]rn King James Bibl[(F)]e on my lap[(C)]
I can [(C)]hear mama now say it won't let you down an[(G)]d it never has
(C) (C7) (F) (F/E,1) (Dm)
So I turned to the Psalms, straight to the one that I can quote by heart
But the [(C)]words that used to comfort me Are te[(G)]aring me apart[(C)]
Chorus:
He [(F)]leadeth me through death's dark valley and by[(C)] still waters too
[(F)]Surely goodness and his mercy are go[(C)]nna pull me thro[(G)]ugh
But to[(C)]night I've wrestled wi[(C/B)]th the devil, wres[(Am)]tled with the truth[(Dm)]
If the [(C)]Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want, wh[(G)]y do I still want you[(C)]
All my friends say this will end, you're not the one I need
'Cause I'm the kind that loves for life and you're the kind that leaves
So I've been praying and I've been waiting for some kind of peace
But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on old Psalms twenty three
Chorus:
Yeah tonight I've wrestled with the devil, wrestled with the truth
If the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want, why do I still want you
I can [(C)]hear mama now say it won't let you down an[(G)]d it never has
(C) (C7) (F) (F/E,1) (Dm)
So I turned to the Psalms, straight to the one that I can quote by heart
