G                           Gsus4                 G
God blessed some folks with music and what a holy art
G                       Bm    Em                                D          
Then the devil seen us envious soles and damned the songs in our hearts
C                                   G     
We go through life just like it was planned
Em                      D              G  
Always wondering who we are blessed or damned

[Verse]
G                              Gsus4          G   
Read about a singer that took home all the awards
G                        Bm    Em                D
I guess he's one of the chosen few that's his reward
C                                                                                      G
But there's a troubadour in a beer joint and he's singing to empty chairs and his empty can
Em                          D                    G
No it ain't hard to figure out who's blessed or damned

[Chorus]
C                    D     C                          D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C                     D                   G
And I pray He'll understand and bless the damned

[Chorus/Outro]
C                    D     C                          D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C                      D                  G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned
C                      D                  G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned
