I Judged A Man chords by
Porter Wagoner
Porter Wagoner

N/A
Verse 1
C
G
C

Ooooooo


Today I saw some ragged clothes
G

And I judged the frame on which

they hummed
C

There goes a wasted life, says I

I'll not waste mine for I'm young
G

I know his kind, they're all alike

He's from the Skid Row part of town
C

He'll beg a dime here and a quarter there

And be in the gutter

before the sun goes down

Then I turned and walked into a store
F

To buy a book of poems to read

Oh, the best of literature, says I,
C

Is for the man of higher breed
G

Then I saw these words aimed right at me
C

And it made me sort of hang my head
G
C

For I'd turned at random to a page
G

and halfway down this
C

poem I read.

He sewed a row of violets
G

along a barren path he trod,
C

That every future passer -by

might view the handiwork of God.
G
C

He carved a map upon a stone

and placed it on a desert floor

To show tomorrow's dying soul

Where cool, clear water lay in store
F
Dm

And to write here
F

all the many things he did
C

to help his fellow man
G
C

White would make a book too long to read
G
C

And wear away the poet's pen
G

Then I left the store to find that man
C

Just walk up to him, rags and all

And shake his hand and chat a while
G

And then I heard an ambulance call
C

What happened here, I asked someone

Why all the crowd

that's gathered round

They said, just some old ragged man
F

from the skid row part of town.

I bowed my head in silent prayer,
C
G

forgive me Lord for my idle tongue.
C

Today I saw some ragged clothes
G
C

and I judged the frame on which they hung.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
