THis version is simpler than some others and slightly more complex than others. I like to utilize 7ths and minors for a little flair. I also included an Outro that I thought sounded nice. Blessings.Was this info helpful?

Precious Lord, Take My Hand – Thomas Andrew Dorsey
 
 
[Verse 1]
        G              G7
Precious Lord, take my hand,
        C          Am
Lead me on, let me stand,
     G           A          D   D7
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
            G                  G7
Through the storm, through the night,
        C         Am
Lead me on to the light:
 
 
[Refrain]
        G              D7
Take my hand, precious Lord,
        G C G
Lead me home.
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                 G7
When my way grows drear,
         C           Am
Precious Lord linger near
        G        A      D   D7
When my light is almost gone
        G            G7
Hear my cry, hear my call
        C           Am
Hold my hand lest I fall
 
 
[Refrain]
        G              D7
Take my hand, precious Lord,
        G C G
Lead me home.
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                 G7
When the darkness appears,
        C           Am
And the night draws near
        G      A        D   D7
And the day is past and gone
       G       G7
At the river I stand
         C             Am
Guide my feet, hold my hand
 
 
[Refrain]
        G              D7
Take my hand, precious Lord,
        G C G
Lead me home.
 
 
[Outro]
 
(A little slower)
 
        G              D7
Take my hand, precious Lord,
        C   G
Lead me home.

Good tab. I use a Cm instead of Am and A7 instead of an A. I think these chords gives the song a more blues feel.
