I Saw The Light (1956)
LYRICS Words and music by Hank Williams sr.
Tablature
for flat-pickers
I [G] wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I [C] wouldn’t let my dear Savior [G] in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the lord [D7] I saw the [G] light.
Chorus
I saw the light I saw the light
[C] no more darkness no more [G] night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the lord [D7] I saw the [G] light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.
Chorus
I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord I saw the light.
Chorus
