I turned my back on a poor man today
And as he hung his head and wondered away
I did my best to try and forget
But that humble man lingers in my memory yet
Now I, I tried so hard not to give a second thought
And get on with my day just as if I had not
Come face to face with that gaping hole in the center of my chest
Where there once was a soul
So now |
Bm I'm |
A just like that |
G begger |
Man, I |
Bm come to you |
A lord, and I |
G hold out my hand |
And I |
Bm beg and I |
A plead, in your |
G mercy impart |
Won't you |
Bm please |
A |
G |
Bm |
A |
G giv |
Bm e m |
F#m e a |
G heart? |
Now they say that the pooor shall inherit the earth
That the first will be last and the last will be first
If that's so then I know my place in that line
While that poor man leads I will follow behind
It seems the older I get the colder I grow
It's much too easy to turn and say no
I bet things would be different lord if I only knew
That the poor black man on the street was you
[Repeat chorus]
Give me a heart, give me a heart
Give me ...
Well now, something about the tin man comes to mind.
