Verse 1
D 
Last night  (D major) as
the moon pulled anchor
G 
D 
And sailed  (G major) down the Milky Way  (D major) 
It peeped through an open window
E 
A 
Where a  (E major) lonely shut -in lay  (A major) 
D 
The moon  (D major) seemed to shine much brighter
G 
D 
Each  (G major) star seemed to nod its  (D major) head
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what
A 
D 
the shut -in  (A major) said  (D major) 
A 
Dear God,  (A major) way up in heaven
D 
I  (D major) earnestly pray to Thee
G 
And my  (G major) prayer, Lord, wilt Thou answer
D 
And lay a heal (D major) ing hand on me
This vain world seems to forget me, Lord,
A 
D 
 (A major) and I've been a -shut in so  (D major) long.
I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus,
E 
 (E major) and still in my heart a song.
A 
 (A major) Lord, I ask not for gold or silver
D 
A 
D 
and  (D major) no diamonds to call my own.  (A major)  (D major) 
A 
D 
 (A major) Just give  (D major) me thy touch of healing,
G 
I'm so weak and  (G major) all alone.
D 
I trust that I'm not askin'  (D major) too much
of thy heavenly will.
When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee,
just give me back my health.
Then off to dreamland the shut -in drifted.
A 
D 
Yes, God  (A major) heard what the shut -in said.  (D major) 
The night seemed so strangely peaceful.
God heard what the shunnin' said
