This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

+Q H.
|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |-(6)\----------------------------|
In my hour of need
On a sea of grey
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this - to this I relate
And I'm willing to listen to your answers
And I'm not afraid to tell you I need you today
So when I'm lost
Or I'm tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet mind goes astray
Won't you light my way?
Don't save it for another day
