Three Little Pennies Doug Stone
[D]There was an [A]old blind[G] man stood on the co[D]rner downtown[G] [D] [A]
He w[D]as holding [A]a cup fi[G]lled up wit[D]h nothin' f[G]rom the Christm[D]as shopping c[G]rowd[A]
And though I barely cam[G]e up to the top of his cane[A]
I r[G]eached up and gave him every cent to my name[A]
Three little[D] pennies were all[A] that I had[G] [D]
One that I fo[G]und and two fro[D]m my Dad[G] [A]
Three little[D] pennies not much[A] of a gift[G] [D]
But Dad said that[G] plenty if its all y[D]ou can give[A] [D]
[D]That evening my Dad told a [A]wonderful story to me[G] [D] [G] [D] [A]
about a child[D] in a manger and[A] wiseman who came [G] [D]
baring gift[G]s on the first Chri[D]stmas Eve[A]
[G]There was a part that I was sure he made up[A] about a
s[G]table boy who couldn't [A]give much
Three little[D] pennies were all[A] that I had[G] [D]
One that I fo[G]und and two fro[D]m my Dad[G] [A]
Three little[D] pennies not much[A] of a gift[G] [D]
But Dad said that[G] plenty if its all y[D]ou can give[A] [D]
[D]Next mo[A]rnin was Christma[G]s and I had prayed [D]hard for a bik[G]e[D] [A]
[D]But all th[A]at I found was the ti[G]niest bo[D]x with three s[G]hiny pennies in[D]side[A]
But I was so dis[G]appointed cause I had been good[A]
But tim[G]es have been bad so I understood an[A]d Daddy said
[D]Three little penni[A]es were all that I [G]had[D]
[G]You gave them freely so [D]I gave'm back[G] [A]
Three little [D]pennies not much[A] of a gift[G] [D]
Your bike is outsi[G]de cause you'v[D]e learned how to give[A] [D]
