Lead Me Down Your Road

V6-MINI

[INTRO]
Fingerpick softly
Dm Bass → 3 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 3
C Bass → 3 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 3
Gm Bass → 3 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 3
Dm Bass → 3 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 3

[VERSE 1]
Start with gentle picking. Let the vocal sit right on top of the guitar.
Dm — P I've spent enough time chasing
C — P Every road that looked like gold
Gm — P I've learned that just because it's open
Dm — P Doesn't mean I'm meant to go
Dm — P So Lord, before I take another step
C — P Before I trust my eyes
Gm — P Teach me how to hear Your voice
Dm — P And recognize Your way

[PRE-CHORUS]
Move from picking into a very light strum.
Bb — S I don't need to know the whole road
Gm — S → H I just need to know the next one

[CHORUS]
Open up the strumming. Still only one guitar.
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Show me where to go
Gm — F Teach me how to walk Your ways
Dm — F When I don't already know
Bb — F Give me eyes to see the truth
F — F Give me a heart that's willing
Dm — F I don't want to just hear Your Word
Gm — F I want to live it
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Keep me close when I wander
Gm — F If Your commands are where life is found
Dm — H Then that's where I want to go

[VERSE 2]
Pull back again. Alternate between picking and very light strumming.
Dm — P I've chosen roads that looked right
C — P And ended up lost somewhere
Gm — P I've followed what my heart said
Dm — P Like my heart knew better than You
Dm — S But there's a peace I can't explain
C — S When I stop and let You lead
Gm — S Like a restless soul remembers
Dm — H What it was created to need

[PRE-CHORUS]
Build slightly.
Bb — S I don't need every answer
Gm — S → H I just need a faithful heart

[CHORUS]
Full acoustic strumming.
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Show me where to go
Gm — F Teach me how to walk Your ways
Dm — F When I don't already know
Bb — F Give me eyes to see the truth
F — F Give me a heart that's willing
Dm — F I don't want to just hear Your Word
Gm — F I want to live it
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Keep me close when I wander
Gm — F If Your commands are where life is found
Dm — H Then that's where I want to go

[BRIDGE]
Drop way back down. Fingerpick or use very slow individual downstrokes.
Dm — P Give me wisdom when I'm blinded
C — P Give me courage when I'm scared
Bb — P Give me strength to choose the narrow road
F — S When the easy road is there
Dm — P Let Your Word become my compass
C — P Let Your truth become my song
Bb — P And when I stumble, pull me back
F — S → H And teach me to keep walking on

[HARMONY VOCAL]
Let the guitar ring between phrases.
Dm — H Keep walking on...
[LEAD VOCAL]
C — H Yeah, keep walking on.

[FINAL CHORUS]
Biggest acoustic section. Strong, confident strumming.
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Show me where to go
Gm — F Teach me how to walk Your ways
Dm — F Everywhere this life may go
Bb — F Give me eyes to see the truth
F — F Give me a heart that's willing
Dm — F I don't want to just hear Your Word
Gm — F I want to live it
Dm — F Lead me down Your road, Lord
C — F Keep me close when I wander
Gm — F If Your commands are where life is found
Dm — H Then that's where I want to go

[FINAL TAG]
Slow down. Let each chord breathe.
Bb — S I'll walk it when it's easy
F — S I'll walk it when it's hard
Dm — S Your way is still Your way
Gm — H And I'll follow where You are

[OUTRO]
Return to gentle fingerpicking.
Dm Lead me down Your road, Lord...
C One step...
Gm At a time...
Dm — H Let ring.
