In My Hour Of Darkness
Gram Parsons

CAPO 3rd Fret

A    A    G    D    D   

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
A                          G                  D
Oh, Lord, grant me vision, oh, Lord, grant me speed

D
Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
A                                   G                  D  
Miles and miles without a word with just his high-beam lights
G               D                           G             D         
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
   A                                G                 D 
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end  

A    A    G    D    A    A    G    D    

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
A                          G                  D
Oh, Lord, grant me vision, oh, Lord, grant me speed

   D
An-other young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
       A                            G                 D    
And he played to people everywhere; some say he was a star
    G             D                G               D   
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
        A                       G           D    
And the music he had in him, so very few possess

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
A                          G                  D
Oh, Lord, grant me vision, oh, Lord, grant me speed

A    A    G    D    A    A    G    D
 
D
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
    A                                  G              D  
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
      G                 D             G                 D    
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
      A                                     G                   D
And I knew his time would shortly come, but I did not know just when

D
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
A                          G                  D
Oh, Lord, grant me vision, oh, Lord, grant me speed
A                          G                  D
Oh, Lord, grant me vision, oh, Lord, grant me speed
