[Intro ]
 
There was (A) once a time when I was dead in(E7)side 
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born 
And prayed to the Devil to (A) die 
Just when I thought the Devil had won 
Someone (A7) opened up the (D) door 
The King of (E7) kings 
The Lord of lords 
I found Jesus on the jailhouse (A) floor 
 
Now, (D) he broke the chains that bound me and now I'm (A) free 
Today I'm right where mama prayed I'd (E) be 
I'm (D) down on my knees, now I believe 
What mama knew for (A) sure 
He's the (E7) King of kings 
The Lord of lords 
I found Jesus on the jailhouse (A) floor 
 
Solo 
 
Now, (A) if you're in trouble friend, let me tell you what to (E7) do 
I'll tell you what he's done for me 
And I know what he'll do for (A) you 
It makes no difference what you've done 
You've a friend in the (A7) One I ad(D)ore 
The King of (E7)kings 
The Lord of lords 
I found Jesus on the jailhouse (A) floor 
 
Now, (D) he broke the chains that bound me and now I'm (A) free 
Today I'm right where mama prayed I'd (E) be 
I'm (D) down on my knees, now I believe 
What mama knew for (A) sure 
He's the (E7) King of kings 
The Lord of lords 
I found Jesus on the jailhouse (A) floor 
He's the (E7) King of kings 
The Lord of lords 
I found Jesus on the jailhouse (A) floor
