[VERSE 1]
D
It was the hottest day of August
G D
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
D
I was next in line to be baptized
A7
At the innocent age of ten
D
And I’ll never forget I remember it yet
G D
The taste of that clear pure water
D
And that preacher’s words still fill my head
A7 D
And I hear them now and then He said,
[CHORUS]
G D
Do you wanna go to heaven
G D A7 D
And I said yeah just lead me on
G D
Take my hand can you feel that feeling
G D A7 D
And I said yes just lead me on
[VERSE 2]
D
It was the hottest day of summer
G D
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love
A7
When boys turn into men
D
And I’ll never forget I remember it yet
G D
The taste of that clear pure water
D
But the preacher’s words I barely heard
A7 D
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in she said
[CHORUS]
G D
Do you wanna go to heaven
G D A7 D
And I said yeah just lead me on
G D
Take my hand can you feel that feeling
G D A7 D
And I said yes just lead me on
[VERSE 3]
D
It was a lonely night in August
G D
She was sitting at the end of the bar when I saw her
D
And with a little wine and an little time
A7
She would be a prize to win
D
Now I’ll never forget I remember it yet
G D
The taste of that clear pure water
But that preacher’s words could not be heard
A7 D
When she whispered come on in she said
[CHORUS]
G D
Do you wanna go to heaven
G D A7 D
And I said yeah just lead me on
G D
Take my hand can you feel that feeling
G D A7 D
And I said yes just lead me on
[OUTRO]

Take my hand can you feel that feeling

And I said yes just lead me on
