Lost Highway

D
G
D
I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost
D
A
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
G
D
When I'd pass by all the people say
A
D
There goes another boy down the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine For the day we met I went astray I started rollin' down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway Now boys, don't start your ramblin' round On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway

Each year on Mother's day

The rose I wore was red

But today I'm saying my first prayer
A7
D
Mama's lying on her dying bed I've just told Mama goodbye Mother's day has turned to night Like the flowers in May, she's withered away And my red rose is turning white This is the dreaded hour We all must face someday Yet there's consolation in my heart She will bloom in the Master's bouquet I've just told Mama goodbye Mother's day has turned to night Like the flowers in May, she's withered away And my red rose is turning white Her time has come to go And there's nothing I can do Only hold her hand and say goodbye Mama's day with her children is through I've just told Mama goodbye As I knelt beside her bed But I heard her say: "I'll meet you someday Where the white roses turn to red"

I Saw The Light

G
D
G
G
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
C
G
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
G
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
G
D
G
Praise the Lord I saw the light I saw the light I saw the light No more in darkness no more at night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light
G
D
G
Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord I saw the light I saw the light I saw the light No more in darkness no more at night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light
Instrumental verse
I was a fool to wander and stray For straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light I saw the light I saw the light No more in darkness no more at night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light

Tonight down here in the valley

I'm lonesome and oh how I feel

As I sit here alone in my cabin

I can see your mansion on the hill
Instrumental verse
Do you recall when we parted The story to me you revealed You said you could live without love dear In your loveless mansion on the hill I've waited all through the years love To give you a heart true and real 'Cause I know you're living in sorrow In your loveless mansion on the hill The light shine bright from your window The trees stand so silent and still I know you're alone with your pride dear In your loveless mansion on the hill

Wealth Won't Save Your Soul

D

As we journey along on life's wicked road
E7
So selfish are we for silver and gold
A
D
A
You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold
E7
A
But my friend, it won't save your poor wicked soul For when God calls from His home up on high To your earthly wealth you must say goodbye Then it's useless to you if you've strayed from the fold For my friend, it won't save your poor wicked soul
Instrumental verse
The rich man like all will be judged at that time But all of his wealth will be left behind For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold My friend, it won't save your poor wicked soul My friend, it won't save your poor wicked soul

Wedding Bells

I have the invitation that you sent me
B
E

You wanted me to see you change your name
A
E
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
B
E
But dear I hope you're happy just the same
A
E
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
B
E
That should be ringing out for you and me
A
E
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
B
E
Those wedding bell will never ring for me I planned a little cottage in the valley I even bought a little band of gold I thought some day I'd place it on your finger But now the future looks so dark and cold Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel I hear the children laughing out with glee At home alone I hang my head in sorrow Those wedding bells will never ring for me I fancy that I see a bunch of roses A blossom from an orange tree in your hair And while the organ plays I love you truly Please let me pretend that I am there Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel Ever since the day you set me free I knew someday that you would wed another But wedding bells will never ring for me

A House Without Love

G
D7
For years we both have lived on pride dear
G
And we agree that love is gone
D7
Why oh why do we keep trying
G
A house without love is not a home
C
G
The love light in your eyes has faded
D7
And I'm contented just to roam
G
D7
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure
G
A house without love is not a home No matter where our footsteps wander I know we'll both be all alone With the pride that came between us A house without love is not a home The simple things have gone forever We wanted wealth to call our own And now we've reached the hour of parting A house without love is not a home
