A7  
I was driftin' an driftin'  
D7                                   A7  
Like a lost ship out on the sea  
D7  
I was driftin' and driftin'  
                                        A7  
Like a lost ship out on the sea  
E7                                   D7  
I didn't have nobody in this whole wide world  
                      A7        D7   D#7   E7  
To care about me  

A7  
Then my sweet Lord, people  
D7                                        A7  
He came and took me by the hand  
D7                                                           A7  
The Good Lord, people, He took me by the hand  
E7  
I may not have too much  
      D7                                 A7      D  D#7  E7   
But at least I know I've got a friend  

(entra solo sobre a mesma base)  

                            (E7  G7  A7)  
I was down and out  
                              (E7  G7  A7)  
I had used up my luck  
                               (E7  G7  A7)  
Wild fire in my braind  
A7  
I was burnin' up  
D7  
Not even my best friends  
                           A7  
They couldn't help me  
E7  
But the Lord came broke the chains  
D7                   A7  
And He set me free
