  			Elvis - Why me Lord 
 
 
(verse 1) 
	     E		      A 
Why Me Lord? What did I ever do, 
		E                         B7 
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known, 
             E		     A			  E 
Tell me Lord what did I ever do to deserve loving you, 
        B7              E     E7 
And the kindness you've shown, 

A 
Lord help me Jesus I praise Him, 
            B7                 E   E7 
So help me Jesus I know what I am, 
A                       E 
Now that I know that I needed you so, 
         B7                      E 
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hands, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
Try me Lord, if you think there's a way I can ever repay 
All I've taken from you 
Forgive Lord I can show someone else 
What I've been through myself 
on my way back to you 

A 
Lord help me Jesus I wasted it so, 
             B7              E   E7 
So help me Jesus I know what I am, Oh yes, 
A                        E 
Now that I know that I needed you so, 
         B7                      E 
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands 
B7                       A     E   
Jesus my soul's in your hands
