INTRO:

E  |  E


VERSE 1:

E                    F#m           Asus2
Ol' Ray Charles song on my radio
                           E
But it don't take my blues away
                                        F#m                         Asus2
I love me some George Jones but I don't feel like singin along
(Asus2)                      E
To He Stopped Loving Her Today


CHORUS:

         C#m              B
To me its always been a remedy
Asus2              Am (let ring)
Simple words and a melody
    E*          Ab*     A          (*Only play the bass note on the walk-up)
You know you're feelin low
              Am      B7
When even the music
             E 
Has lost it's soul


VERSE 2:

E                      F#m        
Ever since I was young my daddy told me son
Asus2                        E
Try your best not to miss a Sunday
E                                    F#m
But ever since he passed on My faith ain't been all that strong
Asus2                                     E
But since I'm on my knees I might as well pray

         C#m                 B
To save a wretch like me its gonna take
         Asus2                  Am
A little more than a verse of Amazing Grace
    E*          Ab*     Asus2
You know you're feelin low
             Am      B7
When even the music
             E
Has lost it's soul
B* D* C*   C#m               B                    Asus2         E        (*Only play base notes)
  And I've always feared the lightning that could come from the lord
          C#m              Ab           Asus4        B7 (let ring)
But right now those gospel songs don't even strike a chord

    E*       Ab*     Asus2
You know you feelin low
      E*          Ab*     Asus2    Am
Oh you know you're feelin low                      (*Only play the base notes)
B7   (down-strum slow, pick individual strings)
When even the music 
       E* Ab* Asus2   Am     B7  
Has lost its soul           UhmMmmm

A*  G*(bend 1/2 step)   E (let ring untill fade)
