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.

in the beginning of the chorus you missed the word OLD
”the orphan and the blind OLD and the needy…”
