Eighth Day
Note: G* indicates where G7 can be played as per the original recording.
Capo 4
G
Today, she was sitting on the street,
C G
sorrow in her eyes,
D
tin can at her feet,
C G
holes in her stockings,
B7 C
holes in her shoes,
G D
she's an old beggar woman,
D G
no stranger to bad news.
G*
So I reached in my pocket
G*
to give a bill or two,
C G*
in my heart I was trying
D
to see what I could do.
C G
She thanked me for the money,
B7 C
I turned to walk away,
G D
but I waited for a moment,
D G*
and she began to say.
Low E: 3-2- into Em
Em
God loves the widow,
the orphan,
and the blind,
D
and the needy who haven't got a dime.
C
God loves the sickly,
Em G7
in his eyes we're all the same,
G D
God he loves you too,
D G*
in the sunshine and the rain.
G*
Don't know where she came from,
G*
don't know her at all,
C G*
but the wrinkles on her face,
D
they kinda tell it all,
C G
so reach in your pocket
B7 C
and give a bill or two,
G D
and you can thank God in heaven
D G*
that the beggar isn't you.
Chorus
[End:]
G D
God he loves you too,
D G
if you just call upon his name.
