Sweet Jesus    (video)

 

     G                      F                  C                       G

1.      Where’s the lady and the time I used to know,

        C                           G                      C

    I think that I’ve been on the road too long.

G                    F                      C                      G

    Scenes of better days are pictured in my head,

       C                          G                 C

    haunting me those old familiar songs.

 

Em                 D                       C   - Em             D                      C

    Oh, sweet Jesus, hear me cry,         let me see a clearing sky,

C             D                Em                       C

    for tomorrow I may be back home again,

G                        D                      C

    so take the shadow from my eyes.

 

     G                  F                             C                    G

2.      Sunday morning comes, I’m feeling kind of down,

        C                            G                 C

    I can’t see back to where it all began.

G              F                            C                 G

    And I know you’d help me, if you only could,

        C                              G                  C

    I don’t know why or where or who I am.

Em                 D                       C   - Em             D                      C

    Oh, sweet Jesus, hear me cry,         let me see a clearing sky,

C             D                Em                       C

    for tomorrow I may be back home again,

G                        D                     Em   

    so take the shadow from my eyes.

 

   C                    D                       C       - G

+     Take the shadow from my eyes.
