It was the hot-test day of Aug-ust
-6  -5 -6  -5   -6  -6 -5   -6 
All of us were down by the banks 
-6 -6    7*   7*  -6  5   
of the Paint Rock Riv-er
8 -7    8  -7  8   -7  8  8   -7
I was next in line to be bap-tised 
-6  6  -6 -6  -6   6  -6  7
at the in-no-cent age of ten 
-6   -5  -6  -6 -5  -6  -6 -5 -6  -6  -6  5
And I’ll nev-er for-get, I re-mem-ber it yet
5     -6  -6  -6    7*    7*  -6  5
The taste of that clear, pure wa-ter
5    -6     -6   -6    -6   -7     8  8   -7
And that preach-er’s words still fill my head 
-6 -6  -7   -7  -7
and I hear them now 
7    -6  -6  -6    -7  8
and then He said, “Do you..

-10 9  -9 9    9 -7-6
Wan-na go to heav-en
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6   -6    7  7  -7
And I said ‘Yeah, just lead me on’.
-7    8   -10   9   9   -9   9    9  -7-6
“Take my hand, can you feel that feel-in’?”
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6  -6   -7  -6 -6
And I said, “Yes just lead me on” 

-6 -6  -5  -6   -5  -6  -6  5   5
It was the hot-test day of sum-mer 
-6  -5  -6  -5  -6   -6-5    -6
And our fin-al high school dance 
-6   -6  7* 7* -6  5
was just a-bout o-ver
8 -7   8 -7   8   -7  -7    8   8   -7
I was old e-nough for the taste of love 
-6 6  -6   -6  6  -6  7 
when boys turn in-to men
-6   -5  -6  -6 -5  -6  -6 -5 -6  -6  -6  5
And I’ll nev-er for-get, I re-mem-ber it yet
5     -6  -6  -6    7*    7*  -6  5
The taste of that clear, pure wa-ter
5   -6     -6   -6   -6  -7  8   8   -7
But the preach-er’s words I bare-ly heard, 
-6  -6   -7   -7 -7    7  -6
as sweet Bon-nie Lou gave in
-6   -6    -7  8
She said,” Do you...

-10 9  -9 9    9 -7-6
Wan-na go to heav-en
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6   -6    7  7  -7
And I said ‘Yeah, just lead me on’.
-7    8   -10   9   9   -9   9    9  -7-6
“Take my hand, can you feel that feel-in’?”
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6  -6   -7  -6 -6
And I said, “Yes just lead me on” 


It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin’ at the end of the bar 
when I saw her
And with a little wine and a 
little time she would be a prize to win
Now I’ll never forget, I remember it yet,
the taste of that clear, pure water
But that preacher’s words could not be heard, 
when she whispered, “ Come on in”
She said, “Do you...

-10 9  -9 9    9 -7-6
Wan-na go to heav-en
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6   -6    7  7  -7
And I said ‘Yeah, just lead me on’.
-7    8   -10   9   9   -9   9    9  -7-6
“Take my hand, can you feel that feel-in’?”
-6 -7* -7*  -7-6  -6   -7  -6 -6
And I said, “Yes just lead me on”
