I Saw The Light
Chet Atkins Lyrics


I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man, I wandered alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that god gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I was a fool to wander and stray
For straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

chet roomed with tommy covington near knoxville, tennessee before maybelle took him to nashville.
tommy was with red foley in kentucky prior to coming to knoxville

tommy was a friend of mine
and taught chet he did not need to be a fiddle player.

both greats played daily on wnox mid day merry go around in late 1940's.

Chet and Doyle with the fancy fingerstyyle and Duane Eddy on the big open chord sound of his. Perfect combo.

@bobbeck5866

@doobeedoo2

Thats really efing good. You kept the sweetness and romance of the original.

@robertworcester6824

They sound so great together. Duane Eddy with that big deep single note twang style and Chet and Doyle with their finger-style plus John Schneider on banjo. They compliment each other.
