Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Down  a dangerous road, I have come  to where I'm standing
 With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
 Such a foolish man,  God ain't known  no greater sinner
 I have come  in search of Jesus,  hping he will understand
 If I give my soul, will he clean  these clothes I'm wearin'?
 If I give my soul,  will he put new boots on my feet?
 If I bow my head  and beg God  for his forgiveness
 Will he breathe  new breath within  me and bring  her back to
me?
 I had a woman once, she was kind  and she was gentle
 Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
 I had a steady job,  til I started  into drinkin'
 Then I started  makin' music  travellin' with  the Devil's
band
 Oh the years went by  like a mighty rush of eagles
 Our dreams and plans  were all scattered in the wind
 And it's a lonesome life,  when you lose  the ones you live
 for
 If I make my peace  with Jesus,  will she take  me back
 again?
 If I give my soul,  will he stop my hands from shaking?
 If I give my soul,  will my son love me again?
 If I give my soul,  and she knows  I really mean  it
 If I give  my soul to Jesus,  will she take  me back again?
 If I give my soul,  will he clean the clothes I'm wearin'
 If I give my soul,  will he put new boots on my feet
 If I bow my head,  and beg God  for his forgiveness
 Will he breathe  new breath within  me and bring  her back to
me?
