Help Me Understand chords by David Allan Coe
Verse 1
D
A
D
A little girl prayed at
G
D
the close of the day
A
Because her daddy had went far away
D
G
D
On her little face was a look of despair
I stood there and listened,
A
D
and I heard this
G
My mommy says daddy has
D
brought us to shame
G
And I'm never no more to
D
A
mention his name
D
Lord, take me and lead me
G
D
and hold to my hand.
Oh, Heavenly Father,
A
D
help me understand.
You know, friends out there,
I wonder how many broken homes
G
there are tonight.
And how many tears are shed
D
by some little word of anger
E
A
That never should have been said
D
Well, I'd like to tell you a story
G

D
And their little daughter Sue
Now Mary, she was just a plain
old housewife and mother,
G
and Bill, I guess he was
A
just a usual dad.
And they had their family quarrels
like everyone else,
D
but neither one ever got real mad.
And then one day, something happened.
G

Oh, it was nothing of course,
A
but one word led to another,
D
and the last word led to a divorce.
Now, here was two grown -up people
G
who failed to use common sense,
D
A
and they strengthened
D
and their own selfish pride
E
A
at little Sue's expense.
D
A
Now, she didn't ask to be
D
G
brought in to this world,
A
to drift from pillar to post,
but a divorce never seems to stop
and consider the ones that
D
it hurts the most.
Why, you know,
I bet there'd be a lot less divorces
G
in this old world today
A
if just a few parents could
hear that little child say,
D
Verse 2
Lord, take me in, lead me in,
G
D
hold to my hand.
