Key: C Intro: C Verse 1: C I'm a simple man G With dust on these cracked and calloused hands F I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance C Like everybody else G I got a twisted, broken story I could tell F Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself Am And I built it all too well
Chorus: F Well I know what I've done F And if judgment should come C I couldn't face it G On my own F But the Savior stepped in Am Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it G C Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places Verse 2: C Yeah I'm livin proof G What a carpenter from Nazareth can do F How a hammer and a nail can make things new C And I don't know why He cared G Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer F Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there Am It really don't seem fair G No it don't seem fair Chorus: F Cause I know what I've done F And if judgment should come C I couldn't face it G On my own F But the Savior stepped in Am Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it G C Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places Harmonca Solo: Am F C Am F C Chorus: F Yes I know what I've done F And if judgment should come C I couldn't face it G On my own F But the Savior stepped in Am Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it G F I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places Outro: C If you need a friend G Who ain't scared of what you've done or where you've been F Just open up the door and let Him in C If you need a friend
