Halfway To Hazard – The Devil And The Cross chords

[Intro]
G D Em C

[Verse]
G                         EmI remember Daddy held the Bible like a gun
C                                               DBack when I was a Pentecostal Gospel preacher’s son
      G                          EmAnd I still can see the fire and brimstone in his eyes
CWhen he preached to people in a tent
                  DRepent before you die
Em                              C                 DMe I’d sneak out back with some saintly southern girl
Em                          C            DAnd there I’d teach her the ways of this world


[Chorus]
        G                          DWell, I guess I was a way too wild to be the child of a preacher man
Em                              C          DWith one foot on solid rock and one on the sinking sand
 G                         DJust like the Prodigal son I guess I got way too lost
Em                              C     D         GLiving somewhere in between the devil and the cross

[Verse]
G                                    EmI was Daddy’s worst nightmare by the time I turned eighteen
C                                                 DBaptized in a whiskey river on the streets of New Orleans
      G                                        EmWell, the demons, drugs, and rock n’ roll they seemed to cloud my mind
C                                        DAnd women were a weakness for weeks at a time
Em                              C                DI learned the hard way what you reap is what you sow
Em                             C              DSo, in silent desperation, one night I headed home

[Chorus]
        G                          DYeah, I guess I was a way too wild to be the child of a preacher man
Em                              C          DWith one foot on solid rock and one on the sinking sand
 G                         DJust like the Prodigal son I guess I got way too lost
Em                              C     D         GLiving somewhere in between the devil and the cross

[Bridge]
CDaddy did more than talk the talk
EmHe walked the walk in life
D                                C               DHe loved me and forgave me when I came home that night
               C                         EmHe said, “Son, don’t ever be ashamed for God forgives the lost.
   D                                 C             DWe all live somewhere in between the devil and the cross.”

[Chorus]
        G                          DLord, I guess I was a way too wild to be the child of a preacher man
Em                              C          DWith one foot on solid rock and one on the sinking sand
 G                         DJust like the Prodigal son I guess I got way too lost
Em                              C     D         GLiving somewhere in between the devil and the cross
      D               Em  C  DWhoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
      G              DWhoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
      Em       C   D GI got way too lost
