(Capo 5) C When I was a boy F My daddy told me, 'son C Don't you ever mess with a certain type G of girl' C No, I've wished more than twice that I'd F taken dad's advice Am G C I wish it more than anything in this world C He grabbed himself a bottle and he F looked me in the eye C And he'd take a plug and wipe it from his G chin C He'd say 'son, don't put much part in F those matters of the heart' Am G C I wished I had listened to him (Chorus) F And tell me oh Jesus! C I'm asking you please F How do I make this endless heartache C cease? F G F Am Lord, I'd believe in you if you'd believe in C me too F G C I just want a little peace (Come on now) C Us big city boys F We don't think about it much C It's all whiskey, wine, and messing G around with drugs C All these secrets that we keep F Never knowing where we'll sleep Am G C I guess I always thought it was enough C But I've got this feeling in my heart F These days of wanting more C G Something to ease this weary head C So I guess I thought that girl might F redeem me from this world Am G C Lord, I should've asked you instead (Chorus) F And tell me oh Jesus! C I'm down on my knees F C I know that I'm no long suffering priest F G F But I believe in you and could you believe Am C in me too F G C I just want a little peace F G C Oh lord, I just need a little peace
