Continues with the same rhythm as the first verse. He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth He lost the will to love He lost the will to live Until he met a man who taught him to forgive Yeah life took him to hell and back To hell and back a time or two But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue Singin' "I once was lost But now I'm found Was blind But now I see" (Chorus)

Before he ^Fm9went he made me pro^Cmise him that I ^Fm9wouldn't c^Cry And though I t^Fm9old him that I wou^Cldn't you know I co^Fm9uldn't help but l^Cie Cause today he jo^Dmined up with Je^Csus Wearing sh^Giny pearl sn^Caps We sang a fe^Dmw gospel hy^Cmns And then the sol^Gdier played t^Gaps I bet he's wal^Dmking with Pe^Cte down the str^Geet paved with go^Ald As s^Dmure as the o^Cld church bell still ri^Gngs He always sa^Dmid he had cou^Cntry in his s^Goul Dm C G (let ring out) He's showing off his brand spanking new wings And his barbed wire h^Calo ^Fm9Sweet ch^Car^Fm9iots co^Cming forth to c^Fm9arry me h^Gome ^Fm9Swing l^Cow s^Fm9weet chari^Cots co^Fm9ming forth to ca^Crry me ho^Gme ^Fm9
