Beggar Woman

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.
