Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
God  bless  the man who stumbles
God  bless  the man who falls
God  bless the  man who yields  to temptation
 God bless the woman who suffers
 God bless the woman who weeps
 God bless the children trying her patience
Trouble  getting over  it is what  you’re in for
 So pour yourself another
 ‘Cause  it’ll take  a steady pair of hands
 Holy or unholy ghost
 Well now I can’t tell
 But either way you cut it
 You should get some distance if you plan
 To take a stand
God  bless  the house divided
God  bless  the weed in the wheat
God  bless the lamp  lit under  a bushel
I  discovered hell  to be the poison  in the well
 So I tried  to warn the others  of the curse
But  then my body turned on me
I  dreamt that for  eternity my family  would burn
Then  I awoke, with a wicked thirst
 Verse Chords with woah woahs
By  my baby’s yellow  bed I kissed her forehead
And  rubbed her little tummy
And  wondered if she’ll  soon despise the smell
Of  the booze on my breath, like her mom
Through  a darkened  mirror I have seen  my own reflection
And  it makes me want to be a better  man
After  another drink
 God bless the man at the crossroads
 God bless the woman who still can’t sleep
 God bless the history that doesn’t repeat
