Intro: D 

D 
If my name, Lord, comes around no more 

I will surely miss it for a while or so 
G 
Should my friends desert me 
                             D 
I would try to make it on my own 
             A 
And if the stars forsake me 
         G                  D 
I will surely find my way alone 

Now, if my hands stop movin' 

And my cash don't come 

             G 
If I lost my power 
                               D 
I would sell my soul and start again 

And if my demon left me 

I would chase him down from where he came 

D 
But don't you take what we've got 

Baby, please stay with me 

And if you go, leave my heart 

Baby, please set me free 

On my life I swear to you truly, darlin 
         G                   D 
I never thought we'd drift apart 

If you know, please let me go, darlin' 
                G              D 
Don't leave me fishin' in the dark
