A  E7  A

[Verse 1]
              A                A7
If you should meet some lonely soul
            D                     A
Who on this earth can't reach his gold
         A                                   E7
And he's traveling down the road so dark and dim (dark and dim)


[Chorus]
         A           A7
Lend the hand, say a prayer
        D                  A
Give a smile that he might share
    A                                E7             A
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
     A                                E7             A
(But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him)


[Verse 2]
               A              A7
Befriend each stranger in the night
        D                A
Help to make his burdens light
     A                            E7
Lift up the fallin' ones and be a friend (be a friend)


[Chorus]
       A             A7
Shed a tear, share a sight
          D                    A
Share his fears don't pass him by
    A                                E7             A
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
             E7             A
(It could be you instead of him)
       A             A7
Shed a tear, share a sight
          D                    A
Share his fears don't pass him by
    A                                E7             A
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
             E7             A
(It could be you instead of him)
