Jonny Lang (born Jon Gordon Langseth, Jr. in Fargo, North Dakota, January 29, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American singer and guitarist performing blues, gospel, soul, and rock music, his latest work being 2013's 'Fight For My Soul'. In 1995, at the age of 14, Lang released his first album, 'Smokin'. Performing both as himself and as as 'Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang', he achieved some budding success. As a result of the LP becoming a regional hit, a major-label bidding war ensued that culminated in Lang signing to A&M Records in 1996.

*- The A-A#-Bm is just a walk up the A string...you'll understand when you listen to the song
Verse 1: DD/F# I used to live my life in fear GD Was worried all the time D/F# From waking up to laying down GD I had no peace of mind ABm The world became a darkened place CBm A struggle without end GD Although bitter times those were A-A#-BmG The days that I began to understand AD I was only a man
Verse 2: I grew up singing songs in church With questions in my mind Then turned my back and ran away From God who gave me life
Then one night His presence fell I wept and shook in it I fell down and cried dear, Jesus Rescue me again, I understand I am only a man
And He said…
Chorus: G What will it be now D Will you choose Me or keep swimming up stream now
I’ve been inside your head G Hearing you scream out Bm But here I am just take My hand and I’ll take out GD All of the pain, and all of the fear
Outro: (Just D, D/F#, G...listen to the song for the placements) I’ll give You my burdens I’ll give you peace All of my desires I’ll give you what you need And what about these chains Lord I’ll set you free But they’re so heavy Lay them at My feet I’ll lay them at Your feet Just promise You won’t leave I’ll never leave So where do I go from here Lord Just follow Me, just follow Me I’ll follow You, wherever You lead Wherever You lead…
Something like that. There are hammer-ons and pull-offs I didn't write in, but they're to pick up if you listen to the song. It's pretty easy, just listen to it and you'll it pretty quick.
