Capo third fret

(*)--2nd time only

(D)His pulpits a corner

On 19th and Main

(G)His grip on the gospel

His one claim to fame(D)

(D)He hurls fire and brimstone

At the cars passing by

(G)And he offers salvation(D)

(A)For the savior on high(D)

(D)His khakis are tatered

And he aint bathed in weeks

(G)His bout with the bottle

Shows up on his cheeks(D)

(D)He looks like a scarecrow

A sight to behold

(G)As he work for the shepherd(D)

(A)Bringin' lambs to the fold(D)

(C)He points to the (G)bible

(D)He holds in his hands

(G)Says I'm proof that the (D)good lord

(E)Can save any (G)man

(D)Son it ain't what you're drivin

(G)Or the clothes that you wear(D)

(D)Material possessions

(G)Won't matter up there(A)

(D)And someday in heaven

When the Angels all sing(G)

(D)These rags that I'm wear'n

(A)Will be fit for a king(C)(G)(D)

*(D)

(D)He's fighting a fever

In spite of the chill

(G)He pulls up his collar

And he speaks of God's will(D)

(D)His body is weakened

But his faith is still strong

(G)For he's filled with conviction(D)

(A)For the mission he's on(D)

(C)He knows soon in heaven(G)

(D)He'll be homeless no more

(G)And his work will soon echo(D)

(E)From that far distant shore

*(D)And some day in heaven

When the angles all sing(G

(D)These rags that I'm wearing

(A)Will be fit for a king(C)(G)(D)
