[Intro]
C Bb F
[Chorus]
F
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
C Bb F
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
[Verse 1]
F
Once I knew a young man, went driving through the night
C Bb F
Miles and miles without a word, but just his high beam lights
Bb F Bb F
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
C Bb F
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end
[Instrumental]
C Bb F x2
[Chorus]
F
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
C Bb F
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
[Verse 2]
F
Another young man safely strummed his silver stringed guitar
C Bb F
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
Bb F Bb F
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
C Bb F
And the music he had in him so very few possess
[Chorus]
F
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
C Bb F
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
[Instrumental]
C Bb F
[Verse 3]
F
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
C Bb F
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
Bb F Bb F
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
C Bb F
And I knew his time could shortly come but I did not know just when
[Chorus]
F
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
C Bb F
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
C Bb F
Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
