[tuning]
tune to 432 hz (if you can't just tune down half a step) this will give it a much more
mellow tone and closely match travis' guitar.
 
 
[Intro]
C C G G D D G G
strum the intro like the first line of chorus.
 
 
[Verse]
N.C.   G               G      C
Why me lord? What have I ever done

of the blessings I've known.
N.C.    G              G      C
Tell me lord, what did I ever do
         C               G
that was worth love from you

or the kindness you've shown.

I could try to repay

all i've taken from you.

What I've been through myself

on my way back to you.
