Rick Roberts    Deliver Me   written by Rick Roberts

E  F#m   A

E
They followed him for seven day
F#m
And lost him when he turned away
A                                       E  A  B
>From where they thought he would surely go
E
But they caught him up in Lewistown
F#m
And when they shot  that convict down
A                                     B
They could hear  him praying soft and slow
B  E B  A                        E  B A
Deliver me  let your waters wash over me
E   B   A               G#m     C#m    C#m  B
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
A                 E    F#m
And I wanna come home
E
She was just a simple girl
F#m
Been a step behind a changing world
A                          E   A  B
Ever since the day she was born
E
So she found herself a  city Jim
F#m
He loved her for ahile  and when
A                                B
She cried as he  walking out the door
B  E B  A                        E  B A
Deliver me  let your waters wash over me
E   B   A               G#m     C#m    C#m B
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
A                 E   F#m
And I wanna come home
C#m                                A
You been using and you been using  all your precious time
C#m                                 F#m
No use crying you've been trying to stay  ahead
                 F#major
Of what you left behind
                A
You oughta stop trying
E
I've been here for oh so long
F#m
Only barely holding on
A                                   E    A   B
To everything I always thought was true
E
But all my diamonds turned to dust
F#m
There's nowhere I can place my trust
A                                       B
Someone has the answer but I don't know who
B  E B  A                        E  B A
Deliver me  let your waters wash over me
E   B   A               G#m     C#m    C#m B
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
A                 E
And I wanna come home
