Verse 1
D 
Bm 
C#m 
There he is,
that same dude,
Bm 
D 
standing on the side of the road
He's holding a sign
that says fall in all hard times
F#m 
Bm 
My heart cries out to him
F#m 
Bm 
D 
Dm 
So    I stop and I empty my  pocket
D 
of my loose change
It was about a dollar,
C# 
F#m 
now I'm feeling too   strange
A 
D 
A 
Dm 
Think about what I  got in my wallet
D 
Over a  hundred dollars
C#m 
but I ain't got any change
Bm 
C#m 
F#m 
Next to a store but   it would
D 
be out of my way
And what can you get for a dollar today
G 
C# 
D 
And what if  I was in his shoes
Would I want a dollar
or to be offered some help
with all of my issues?
By the grace of God
I've been cool
and here's this helpless beggar
F#m 
D 
Was a dollar really for you
C# 
D 
or was it just to make
C# 
C#m 
D 
myself feel better?
I'm thinking my trash
is somebody else's treasure
C# 
C#m 
C# 
I'm reminded of 1 John 3 .17
D 
If I got material things
and see my brother in need
F#m 
C#m 
C# 
And   have no    pity on heed and cheat
D 
G 
D 
How can the love of the deity be in me?
C#m 
I could've went  to the store,
A 
C#m 
D 
F#m 
but I didn't think it was important enough
D 
I  call myself a Christian,
my conscience callin' my bluff
All of my stuff,
Bm 
C#m 
D 
I look  at the man and it hurts me
As the light turns green
C#m 
D 
Yo, I'm in a hurry and   I'm off,
C#m 
C# 
F#m 
feelin' like I just did wrong
D 
That's the reason why I
Dm 
D 
G 
wrote this song
Bm

C#m 
One day, I'm in the grocery store,
D 
mindin' my biz
G 
D 
I  see shorty walkin' in
with all of these little kids
C#m 
F#m 
They all   had ghetto names,
C#m 
F#m 
D 
with  all of them spelled the same
But pronounced differently,
she was about 23
C#m 
Bm 
F#m 
Her baby's bein' loud as can be
Bm 
A 
D 
I   can look in her eyes
C 
and tell that she was outta energy
D 
Bm 
F#m 
That's too bad, my crew grabbed
Bm 
D 
C 
like two bags of chips
D 
C 
Shorty's in the corner
D 
figuring the food stamps
C#m 
Trying to see how much remains of the car
D 
She got a basket full of stuff
And she praying to God
that there's enough
C#m 
F#m 
C#m 
Cause she had   the use
F#m 
to cash for the pampers
D 
Kids acting up,
I wanted to ask where the dad was
C#m 
Bm 
It    ain't my business,
A 
F#m 
so I'm minding my    own
D 
Head for the checkout line,
it's finally time to be gone
F#m 
I see Shorty coming,
C#m 
F#m 
I let her get in front of me
A 
D 
Clerk ringing it up, she asked him
how much is it gonna be
G 
C#m 
103, 15 years in total,
she went over the limit
D 
Hold up a minute,
she opened her purse and started diggin'
C# 
D 
I got 30  bucks to my name,
C#m 
D 
she off   by 28
C 
G 
D 
And  that's all my money,
so I didn't bother
C#m 
F#m 
The girl's eyes started   to water
C#m 
A 
She lookin' for what she
D 
can put back
Everyone in line lookin'
at her like a hood rat
C#m 
She puttin' stuff back,
Bm 
C#m 
A 
I'm feelin' like  crap, that's it
D
