Capo: 1st Fret
INTRO: [Cadd9] [Cadd9] [Fmaj7] [Cadd9] [Fmaj7] [G]
I [Am]met God's Will on a [F]Halloween night
He was [C]dressed as a bag of [G]leaves
[Am]It hid the braces [F]on his legs at [G]first
[Am]His smile was as bright as the [F]August sun
[C]When he [G/B]looked at [Am]me [C/G]
As he [F]struggled down the driveway, it [C]almost
Made me [G]hurt
Will don't [Fmaj7]walk too good [C]
Will don't [Fmaj7]talk too good [C]
He won't [Fmaj7]do the things that the [C]other kids do,
In our [G]neighborhood
CHORUS
I've been [C]searchin', wonderin', [Fmaj7]thinking?
Lost and [C]lookin' all my [F]life
I've been [C/G]wounded, jaded, [Am]loved and hated
I've [F]wrestled wrong and [G]right
He was a [F]boy without a [C]father
And his [A]mother's mira[F]cle
I've been [Am]readin', writin', [G/B]prayin', fightin'
[C]I guess [E/Stop]I would be [F]still
[Dm]Yeah, that was un[G]til
I knew [Fmaj7]God's [C]Will [Fmaj7] [G]
[Am]Will's mom had to [F]work two jobs
We'd [C]watch him when she had to work [G]late
[Am]And we'd all laugh like I hadn't [F]laughed
Since I don't know [G]when
[Am]Hey Jude was his favorite [F]song
[C]At dinner he'd [G/B]ask to [Am]pray [C/G]
And then he'd [F]pray for everybody in the [C]world but [G]him
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Before they [F]moved to California
His mother [C]said, they didn't think he'd live
And she [Am]said each day that I [C/G]have him,
well it's [Fmaj7]just another gift
And I [F]never got to tell her, that the [Am]boy
Showed [G/B]me the [F]truth
In crayon [Dm7]red, on notebook paper, he'd written
[Bb]Me and God love [G]you
I've been [C]searchin', prayin', [Fmaj7]wounded, jaded
[C]I guess I would be [F]still
[Dm]Yeah that was un[G]til...
I [Am]met God's Will on a [F]Halloween night
He was [C]dressed as a bag of [G]leaves [Cadd9]
