This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
Abm
This one goes out to the ones in need
C#m
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
F#
This ain’t about no apology
B
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
Abm
This road was paved by the winds of change
C#m
Walkin' beside the guily and the innocent
F#
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

               Abm              E
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
               F#
