Three Nails And A Cross

[Verse 1]
       G                           
He was sitting on the front porch 
    Em
of a half-way house
C                                
Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' 
G
coffee
G                   Em
I was walkin' by on my way home
C                            G
Stopped and said, hello, how are ya
   Em                              
He looked at me and said, I've seen
  A7
 better days
  C                                
I looked at him and said, there's a
 D
 better way


[Chorus 1]
                  G
Three nails and a cross
C     G
Equal forgiveness
G                    Em
Just like you, I was lost
A7                         Am7   
And that's hell to have to live 
    D
with

I've sat on the front porch where 
you're sittin' now
       Em7                       
I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I 
  A7
figured out
                  G    D    
Three nails and a cross equal 
     G
forgiveness

[Verse 2]
        G                         
She was sittin' on her bed crying 
Em
crocodiles
C                            
Sixteen ain't a good age to be 
  G
pregnant
    G                            
And she thinks mom and dad won't 
Em
love her anymore
         C                      
Like the boy who swore he always 
           G
would but doesn't
    Em                             
She turns and sees that Bible 
  A7
laying by her bed
        C                          
And she crumbles to her knees as 
  D
she bows her head


[Chorus 2]
                  G
Three nails and a cross
C     G
Equal forgiveness
G                       Em
Lord help me 'cause I'm lost
A7                         Am7   
And that's hell to have to live 
    D
with
  Em                               
Baug
I need you more than ever now, 
without a doubt
     Em7                         
I've made a big mistake, can you 
A7
help me out
                  G    D    
Three nails and a cross equal 
     Em      A7
forgiveness
                  G    D    
Three nails and a cross equal 
     G
forgiveness
