Key: C major
Verse 1
C
G
C
Ooooooo
Today I saw some ragged clothes
they hummed
I'll not waste mine for I'm young
He's from the Skid Row part of town
And be in the gutter
before the sun goes down
Then I turned and walked into a store
Oh, the best of literature, says I,
G
C
For I'd turned at random to a page
He sewed a row of violets
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
G
C
White would make a book too long to read
G
C
And wear away the poet's pen
And shake his hand and chat a while
Why all the crowd
that's gathered round
They said, just some old ragged man
I bowed my head in silent prayer,
C
G
forgive me Lord for my idle tongue.
G
C
and I judged the frame on which they hung.
How did you like the song?
