[VERSE]
                     A +riff
You told me that the world is full of sinners
             D
And placed a bible at my feet
         A +riff
I could hardly understand you
               D
Oh, I had just learned to chew my meat

[BRIDGE]
                       E
I heard that you were calling on the Lord
            D
Asking for answers, for some relief
                      E
I heard that you were   calling out my name (my name!)
              D
And that you cried for a whole week

[CHORUS]
                  A*
Saying, "Have you seen my son?
                 D
He’s lost in the world somewhere
               A*
I pray for him   every day
                        D
But I know he ain't seen  your ways
          E*        E*
(Is he alright?)

       A +riff
As I got older
                D
It never got any better
                            A
I said I’m trying to find some truth in this world
                      D
I know there’s things that you won't understand

[G  O] 
(?) E* and some higher chords down by the 12th fret. Maybe check a youtube clip?

[VERSE]
             A +riff
We fought all the way from Florida
       D
Down I-10 to New Orleans
        A
I said God must love everyone
          D
Even the ones the Church loves the least

[BRIDGE]
                     E (hold)
They say that when a mother loves her child
             D (hold)
Oh, she will do most anything
                  E (hold)
I know that I can    never make it right
          D
But it's hard to hear you say it

[CHORUS]
                A*
Yeah, "Have you seen my son?
                 D
He’s lost in the world somewhere
              A*
I pray for him   every day
      D
But I know he ain't seen your ways.
