CAPO 4
Intro: G4  G Em D C

Verse 1
   G4         G                Em D C
He ran away from home at the age of seventeen
            G4            G
For years he drank himself to sleep
                    Em D        C
Under the bridge of Saint Stephen Street
G4               G
"Dad, I'm stopping by, Can you look me in the eye?"
          Em          D      C
He left the message on the phone
       G4         G                              C
At the bus stop he cried, his father held a sign that read
       D
"Welcome Home"

Chorus

D  G           D          C
Glory by the way of shame
       D     G  D      C
Bear a cross in Jesus' name
D  G           D          C
Glory by the way of shame
          Em    C
It's an amazing grace
           D          G4 G
Glory by the way of shame

Verse 2   
She cheated on him twice, but for fear she never told
She finally confessed, before her heart ran cold
With pain in his eyes, he walked out of the house and drove to town
Bought her a white wedding dress
Came home to her and danced
To the song of forgiveness

Verse 3
If these stories are true
I really couldn't say
But of my own heart I know
It goes much the same
(go straight into chorus)
