     D                   Bbm aug5                Bm                Gm
My family, they don?t hear me, or the cries of pain inside
     D                        Bbm aug5          Bm                    Gm
Ive lost my mind to satan?s kind of power it makes me weak


Chorus:
      D                         Bm
So help me God from this stronghold, 
    F#m                       A7
It seems I cant move on my own
      Bm                       F#m
My shady tree has deserted me, 
       Em                    A7Sus4  A7    D
Left in the hot sun to burn     a---lone (3rd Time through Repeat)

So help me God from this stronghold,

It seems I cant move on my own
       Bm                     F#m
My shady tree has deserted me,

Left in the hot sun to burn     a---lone

My mothers eyes see?s my disguise of hate that burns inside
          D                              Bbm aug5               Bm                Gm
My strength is gone, from hate so wrong, that wells inside of me

I?ll take the fall for every call, the judger deems on me
