Verse 1
(C major) (G major) Ooooooo (C major)
Today I saw some ragged clothes
And I (G major) judged the frame on which
they hummed
(C major) There goes a wasted life, says I
I'll not waste mine for I'm young
I know his kind, they're all (G major) alike
He's from the Skid Row part of town
(C major) 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
To buy a book of (F major) poems to read
Oh, the best of literature, says I,
Is for (C major) the man of higher breed
(G major) Then I saw these words aimed right at me
(C major) And it made me sort of hang my head
For I'd (G major) turned at ran (C major) dom to a page
and halfway down (G major) this
poem I (C major) read.
He sewed a row of violets
along a barren path he (G major) trod,
That (C major) every future passer -by
might view the handiwork of God.
(G major) He carved a map (C major) upon a stone
and placed it on a desert floor
To show tomorrow's dying soul
Where cool, clear water lay in store
(F major) An (D minor) d to write here
all (F major) the many things he did
(C major) to help his fellow man
(G major) White would make a book too long (C major) to read
And wear away the poet's pen (G major) (C major)
Then I left the store (G major) to find that man
Just walk up (C major) to him, rags and all
And shake his hand and chat a while
And then I heard an ambulance (G major) call
What (C major) happened here, I asked someone
Why all the crowd
that's gathered round
They said, just some old ragged man
from the skid row part of town. (F major)
I bowed my head in silent prayer,
(C major) forgive me Lord (G major) for my idle tongue.
(C major) Today I saw some ragged clothes
and I judged the frame on which they hung. (G major) (C major)
