 Subject: "Don't Overlook Salvation" by Ricky Van Shelton
 Don't Overlook Salvation
 Ricky Van Shelton
 from the Album "Don't Overlook Salvation" 1992
 The strumming pattern is a standard country pattern.  For G, you would pluck
 string 6 (low E string), then strum the bottom four strings (D, G, B, and
 high E strings)in an up-down-up pattern, then pluck string 5 (A string)
 then strum the bottom four strings up-down-up, then the pattern repeats.
 The pattern is similar for C and D, except that you have to change your use
 of the base strings.  I use strings 5 and 4 for C and just 4 for D and D7.
 I'm sure you can find ways to liven it up a little more, but this is enough
 to make it work.
 
 Please note that when I used the string names above, I named the strings
 using the open string names, not the actual note names that result when
 the chords are actually fingered.
 
 The chords should look something like this:
 
    G                         C
       ^  v  ^     ^  v  ^        ^  v  ^     ^  v  ^
 E-----3--3--3-----3--3--3--+-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--+
 B-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--+-----1--1--1-----1--1--1--+
 G-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--+-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--+
 D-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--+-----2--2--2--2--2--2--2--+
 A--------------2-----------+--3-----------------------+
 E--3-----------------------+--------------------------+
 
 One additional note, I can't understand what he says at the end of the very
 first line of the song, I just wrote down the only thing I could think of
 that made sense.  If anyone knows what the last two words of the first line
 are, please let me know!
 
 G                 C               G
 Heaven is a city, built by jewels round
 G                              D      D7
 Its beauty is a splendor yet untold
    G                            C           G
 If you neglect salvation you'll never enter in
  G                D                     G     C    G
 You'll never ever walk those streets of gold
 
    G                               C              G
 So don't overlook salvation, while living here in sin
 G                             D      D7
 Someday it may be too late to pray
 G                             C               G
 Someday when you need Him, He may not let you in
 G               D               G     C    G
 How awful if He should turn you away
 
 Sometimes we get discouraged, while we walk this weary way
 But Jesus said he'd every burden bear
 So take Him all your troubles, when it seems all hope is gone
 Just trust Him when you go to Him in prayer
 
 Jesus said be ready for you know not when the hour
 He may come at morning night or noon
 So keep your eyes upon Him and your soul filled with His power
 For you know He's surely coming soon
 
 So don't overlook salvation, while living here in sin
 Someday it may be too late to pray
 Someday when you need Him, He may not let you in
 How awful if He should turn you away
