INTRO: G Cadd9 G F/C C G Cadd9 G F/C C VERSE 1:
      Am                  Am7/G         Bm7         A7
I was walking through the counters of a national concern

      F/C              C              G        Cadd9
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder

      Am           Am7/G          Bm7              A7
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean

       F/C              C              G        Cadd9
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared

      C              G           Am               Am7/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak

D/F#           C          G     Cadd9
Into the paper bag at her side

        C                   G                Am               
And her face was white with fear in case her actions

     Am7/G
Were observed

       D/F#               C                   G      Cadd9
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
CHORUS:
       Am            Am7/G    
Crying God knows I'm good 

D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good 

F             E
God knows I'm good

Am               C/G         E
God may look the other way today

Am            Am7/G
God knows I'm good

D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good

F             E
God knows I'm good

Am               C/G         E
God may look the other way today
VERSE 2:
         Am               Am7/G          Bm7            A7
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag

F/C          C                 G        Cadd9
Perspiration trickled down her forehead         

        Am               Am7/G           Bm7              A7
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder

        F/C        C             G        Cadd9
She was led away bewildered and amazed

            C                 G                  Am               Am7/G
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter

       D/F#             C              G
As her escort asked her softly for her name

      C               G                Am               Am7/G
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady

        D/F#           C               G
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
CHORUS:
       Am            Am7/G    
Crying God knows I'm good 

D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good 

F             E
God knows I'm good

Am               C/G            E
Surely God won't look the other way

Am            Am7/G
God knows I'm good

D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good

F             E
God knows I'm good

Am               C/G            E
Surely God won't look the other way
