In my hour of darkness

In my time of need
    C
Oh, Lord grant me vision
    Bb                 F
Oh, Lord grant me speed

Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
C                                    Bb                       F
Miles and miles without a word, with just his high-beam lights
 Bb                 F                        Bb               F
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
   C                                Bb                   F
To be so strong, to take as long as it would till the end

F
In my hour of darkness

In my time of need
    C
Oh, Lord grant me vision
    Bb                 F
Oh, Lord grant me speed

Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
        C                                Bb               F
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
    Bb                F            Bb                  F
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
        C                       Bb              F
And the music he had in him, so very few possess

F
In my hour of darkness

In my time of need
    C
Oh, Lord grant me vision
    Bb                 F
Oh, Lord grant me speed

 F
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
    C                                  Bb                 F
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
      Bb                 F             Bb                     F
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
      C                                      Bb                    F
And I knew his time would shortly come but I did not know just when

F
In my hour of darkness

In my time of need
    C
Oh, Lord grant me vision
    Bb                 F
Oh, Lord grant me speed

C
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Bb                F
Oh, Lord grant me speed
