Verse 1:
FF
Once I knew a young man, went driving through the night
C majorC                 Bb majorBb         FF
Miles and miles without a word, but just his high beam lights
Bb majorBb       FF              Bb majorBb      FF
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
 C majorC                Bb majorBb        FF
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end

Verse 2:
 FF
Another young man safely strummed his silver stringed guitar
   C majorC              Bb majorBb        FF
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
  Bb majorBb      FF        Bb majorBb        FF
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
    C majorC           Bb majorBb     FF
And the music he had in him so very few possess

Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed

Verse 3:
FF
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
  C majorC                 Bb majorBb       FF
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
   Bb majorBb        FF       Bb majorBb        FF
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
   C majorC                   Bb majorBb        FF
And I knew his time could shortly come but I did not know just when

Oh Lord, grant me vision, Oh Lord, grant me speed
