Capo 3

[Verse]
G Gsus4 G
God blessed some folks with music and what a holy art
G Bm Em D 
Then the devil seen us envious soles and damned the songs in our hearts
C G 
We go through life just like it was planned
Em D G 
Always wondering who we are blessed or damned

[Verse]
G Gsus4 G 
Read about a singer that took home all the awards
G Bm Em D
I guess he's one of the chosen few that's his reward
C G
But there's a troubadour in a beer joint and he's singing to empty chairs and his empty can
Em D G
No it ain't hard to figure out who's blessed or damned

[Chorus]
C D C D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and bless the damned

[Chorus/Outro]
C D C D
I hope heaven has a place for those of us who lost our way
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned
C D G
And I pray He'll understand and Bless the damned
