Verse: 1
There's a [D]sorrow [G]in the [D]wind
Blowing' down the [G]road I've [D]been
I can [Bm]hear it cry while [G]shadows steal the [D][G]sun[D]

I've come to far to [G]turn [D]around
And there's [Bm]still a race [G]ahead that I must [D][G]run[D]

I have [D]stumbled [G]I have [D]strayed
You can [D]trace the [G]tracks I [D]made
All [Bm]a-cross the [G]memo-ries my heart [D][G]recalls[D]
But I'm just a [G][D]refu-gee won't you say a [G]prayer for [D]me
Cause [Bm]some-times even the [G]strongest soldier [D][G]falls[D]
