Daniel Johnston – A Little Story (Guitar)

C
There was this big Guy

       C7          F
And He had a great idea.

   C
He built Himself a world

                     G
And He put people on it.

        C
But the people they turned wicked,

C7            F
And they soon forgot

        C
Who had made their very being

                      G
And put them on their planet.

       C
So the God He sent His very own Son,

    C7        F
His only holy Son.

       C
And He sent Him to the world

                           G
'cause something had to be done.

C
His son walked around and He told the truth

C7                            F
Like the truth had never been told.

       C
He was kind to the poor,

                 G 
His home was the road.

C
Unlike any other heroes

C7                       F
Of which a song could be sung,

         C
He never did bad to anyone.

                G
He never did no harm.

C 
But there were other people who weren't so nice

C7                           F
And they plotted to take His life

        C
And the Man knew all about it

                   G
But He didn't even hide.

C
And they beat Him and they robbed Him

C7                          F
And they hung Him for bein' good.

         C
And they laughed and made jokes

                        G
While they stood in his blood.

C
But there's a happy ending to the story.

C7                        F
I think you'll be glad to know

        C
He came back to life in glory,

                         G
And up from the grave He arose.

C
So before you turn out your light,

C7                F
Remember this one Man

          C
Who lived comfortably in heaven

                                G
But gave it all up to hang on a cross.

C
Because He hung for you and me

C7                    F
And He came to set us free.

           C
'Cause his Dad had a great idea

                              G  C
About the way things ought to be.
