[Intro] F F F [Verse]
F
The Lord appeared to Solomon

                     C
And asked him in his dream

                    C
Just what would you want

                        F
If I would grant you anything

F
King Solomon said to the Lord

                   C
On riches I won't dwell

                    C
Just grant to me the wisdom Lord

                    F
To lead Your people well

F
When he woke the Lord had blessed

                    C
The throne on which he sat

             C
And nobody ever caught him

               F
Sleepin' after that

F
People heard about him

                     C
And came from far and wide

                    C
He'd lay his words of wisdom on

                  F
And open up their eyes
[Chorus]
  F
  And didn't Solomon have it all together?

                               C
Didn't Solomon lead his people well?

F
Didn't Solomon have all together?

  F
  Don't his words ring clearly as a bell?
[Instrumental] F F F C F D [Verse]
G
Two women came to Solomon

               D
Both had given birth

                         D
I'm troubled though dear kindly king

                         G
Please help me said the first

                G
One night while I lay sleeping

                  D
This womans baby died

                    D
She laid it's body on my bosom

                G
Trading it for mine

G
The other woman said to him

                D
That it was not true

G
And Solomon said bring the child

                         G
I'll tell you what we'll do

             G
We'll divide him with a sword

                  D
And half to each disperse

                D
The real mother cried, oh, no

                    G
Just give the child to her
[Outro]
   G
  And didn't Solomon have it all together?

                               D
Didn't Solomon lead his people well?

G
Didn't Solomon have all together?

  G
  Don't his words ring clearly as a bell?

G
Didn't Solomon have it all together?
