Chords with lyrics

Intro:      G+G

 verse 1
 G+G                                 A minorAm
I try to get up every morning, with a smile, and apply the golden rule,
   D MajorD                             G+G
But sometimes that old devil tempts me, and I go acting like a fool,
 G+G                              A minorAm
Dear Jesus I keep trying to be perfect, but I'm just a mortal man,
 D MajorD                        G+G
Lord help me be the kinda person, my dog thinks I am.

 verse 2
 G+G                                 A minorAm
Sometimes I go to church on Sunday, with Saturday's whiskey on my breath,
       D MajorD                            G+G
But I keep praying and a promising to quit before I drink myself to death,
     G+G                           A minorAm
Help me walk the straight and narrow, change this light into a lamp,
  D MajorD                        G+G
Oh Lord help me be the kinda person, my dog thinks I am.

    A augmentedA                                  G+G
  I know he's just a mutt, but he don't judge me, when times get pretty hard,
     A augmentedA                        D MajorD
  You betcha he's my bible, he buries my liquor in the yard.

I can feel your love inside me Lord and I know that I'll be coming home someday,
 D MajorD                           G+G
When I do I pray you'll find a pair of wings, for old Jake,
     G+G                                   A minorAm
Now the preacher's been real good to me but I know whose really been there in a jamb,
 D MajorD                        G+G
Lord help me be the kinda person, my dog thinks I am.
