Intro:
GCadd9GF/CCGCadd9GF/CCVerse 1:
AmAm7/GBm7A7
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
F/CCGCadd9
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
AmAm7/GBm7A7
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
F/CCGCadd9
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
CGAmAm7/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
D/F#CGCadd9
Into the paper bag at her side
CGAm
And her face was white with fear in case her actions
Am7/G
Were observed
D/F#CGCadd9
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
Chorus:
AmAm7/G
Crying God knows I'm good
D7/F#F
God knows I'm good
FE
God knows I'm good
AmC/GE
God may look the other way today
AmAm7/G
God knows I'm good
D7/F#F
God knows I'm good
FE
God knows I'm good
AmC/GE
God may look the other way today
Verse 2:
AmAm7/GBm7A7
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
F/CCGCadd9
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
AmAm7/GBm7A7
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
F/CCGCadd9
She was led away bewildered and amazed
CGAmAm7/G
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
D/F#CG
As her escort asked her softly for her name
CGAmAm7/G
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
D/F#CG
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
Chorus:
AmAm7/G
Crying God knows I'm good
D7/F#F
God knows I'm good
FE
God knows I'm good
AmC/GE
Surely God won't look the other way
AmAm7/G
God knows I'm good
D7/F#F
God knows I'm good
FE
God knows I'm good
AmC/GE
Surely God won't look the other way
