In My Hour Of Darkness Written by Emmylou Harris & Gram Parsons Recorded by Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris Capo on 3 [Intro] | A | A | G | D | D |

^DIn my hour of darkness, in my time of need ^AOh, Lord, grant me vision, ^Goh, Lord, grant me ^Dspeed ^DOnce I knew a young man went driving through the night ^AMiles and miles without a word with ^Gjust his high-beam ^Dlights

[Chorus 1]

^GWho'd have ever ^Dthought they'd build such a ^Gdeadly Denver ^Dbend To ^Abe so strong, to take as long as ^Git would till the ^Dend

[Instrumental] | A | A | G | D | A | A | G | D |

^DIn my hour of darkness, in my time of need ^AOh, Lord, grant me vision, ^Goh, Lord, grant me ^Dspeed An- ^Dother young man safely strummed his silver string guitar And he ^Aplayed to people everywhere, ^Gsome say he was a ^Dstar

[Chorus 1]

But ^Ghe was just a ^Dcountry boy, his ^Gsimple songs con- ^Dfess And the ^Amusic he had in him, so ^Gvery few pos- ^Dsess ^DIn my hour of darkness, in my time of need ^AOh, Lord, grant me vision, ^Goh, Lord, grant me ^Dspeed

[Instrumental] | A | A | G | D | [Verse]

^DThen there was an old man, kind and wise with age And ^Ahe read me just like a book and he ^Gnever missed a ^Dpage

[Chorus 2]

And I ^Gloved him like my ^Dfather, and I ^Gloved him like my ^Dfriend And I ^Aknew his time would shortly come, but I ^Gdid not know just ^Dwhen ^DIn my hour of darkness, in my time of need ^AOh, Lord, grant me vision, ^Goh, Lord, grant me ^Dspeed

[Outro]

^AOh, Lord, grant me vision, ^Goh, Lord, grant me ^Dspeed
