i love this song it is such a great song. i just figured out (over the last 3 days) how to do a fingerpicking version on a nylon guitar
i cant play it and sing it all the way through w/o messing up yet but i want to keep trying till i can and play it as country as possible with a walking base line
anyway enjoy the original no-mistakes version that inspired me so much and see how this song = awesome

She was driving last Friday

On her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy

With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

She was going way too fast

Before she knew it she was spinning

On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air
Chorus:
G
Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel
Verse 3:
C G
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
Am7 G
And the car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat

Sleeping like a rock
C G
And for the first time in a long time
Am7 G
She bowed her head to pray
F C
She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life
F C
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight
