jesus take the wheel

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

Artist: Carrie Underwood
Song: Jesus Take The Wheel


Capo 2

Intro: C G Am7 G (x2)


Verse 1:
C
She was driving last Friday
G
On her way to Cincinnati
Am7 G
On a snow white Christmas Eve
C G
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
Am7 G
With the baby in the backseat
C G
Fifty miles to go and she was running low
Am& G
on faith and gasoline
F
It'd been a long hard year


Verse 2:
C G
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
Am7 G
She was going way too fast
C G
Before she knew it she was spinning
Am7 G
On a thin black sheet of glass
C G
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Am7 G
She didn't even have time to cry
F C
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air


Chorus:
G
Jesus take the wheel
D
Take it from my hands
Am G C
Cause I can't do this on my own
G
I'm letting go
D
So give me one more chance
Am G C
Save me from this road I'm on
C G Am7 G C G F
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
C G
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Am7 G
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

I watched some hack sing this shit on american idol in passing last night, shit was bunk.

I said if you're really wanting Jesus to stop you from crashing your car, you'll end up in the morgue. Gotta take the wheel yourself. On the real. Drive that shit.
