[Verse]
A            E
I heard your stories
A                     E
Mother she read by my bed.
A                    E           C#m       B          E
Stories of faith and deliverance grief and repentance too

[Verse 2]
A            E
I heard your whispers
A                          E
My father he kneeled by my head
A                        E        C#m       B           E
Whispers of strength and weakness grace and forgiveness too

[Chorus]
          C#m            A          E
Would you forgive me for being your son
        B
I was a bad one
C#m            A                    E
Would you forgive me for loving you with
                B
the barrel of a gun
                  C#m B E
After all I was a bad one

[Verse 3]
A                        E
Angels are singing sweet lullabies
A                    E
as you let me freely roam
A                    E
I've sinned with the best of them
         C#m    B      E
Now your son is coming home

[Chrous 2]
          C#m            A          E
Would you forgive me for being your son
        B
I was a bad one
C#m            A                    E
Would you forgive me for loving you with
                B
the barrel of a gun
C#m            A                    E
Would you forgive me for being your son
        B
I was a wayward one

[Outro]
          C#m            A          E                 B
Would you forgive me for loving you with my life as a prodigal son
