Intro:           Am     F       C       G  

Verse ONE: 

Am              F                C           G 
I was driving home one day, just me and myself 
Am          F                    C              G 
I got to thinking and thought I need to figure out 
Am             F                     C                 G 
What I'm gonna do when I'm grown, I gave the Lord a shout, 
Am       F                C                  G 
He sat next to me, said "son, I'll help you out." (And he said.) 
 

 
[Refrão]
       Am            F              C     G 
        Here's an old guitar, a pen and a book, 
Am            F                                 C                        G 
It don't seem like much but trust me take a look. 
Am                         F                         C             G 
You'll become great one day, singing for me. 
Am          F                     C           G 
All you have to do is trust in me 

Verse 2: 

Am                   F                     C        G 
I said: “Lord, thank you for blessing me, 
Am                  F                   C         G 
I know you’ll keep me good company, 
Am               F               C           G 
It won’t be easy but I’ll do it for you. 
Am            F                       C          G 
To help others learn that you are true. 

Chorus 

Verse 3: 

Am        F                            C            G 
I got home that day, tools in hand 
Am                F              C                      G 
But I felt that I was outgunned and outmanned. 
Am                     F                      C            G 
I picked up that old guitar, it’s rusty old strings; 
Am                    F                             C               G 
Played it for a little while, thought: Oh, man it rings. 
Am                  F                    C             G 
Man, he was right, it don’t seem like much. 
Am                 F                 C           G 
He must’ve given it his glorious touch, (When he said,)
