Verse
One [D5]night he wandered in[G/D] to that old [D5]mission,
the one down on the[A7sus] poor side of tow[D5]n.
He really had no int're[G/D]st in salva[D5]tion,
just a place to lay his drunk [A7sus]old body dow[D5]n.
He said, ma'am[G/D], I sure [D5]am hungry
and I don't have [A7sus]a penny to my name.[D5]
Lord knows I hadn't worke[G/D]d in a month [D5]of Sundays.
I'm dirty, dead 'bro[A7sus]ke and so[D5] ashamed.
Chorus:
I need[G/D] bread an water man that's all I need.
[G/D]Bread and water, a place to rest my feet.
I [Em7]ain't too proud to[G/F#] get down on my
[G]knees for bread and water's free.
Interlude:
[D5] [G/D] [D5]

Verse 2:
[D5]She said, you're always we[G/D]lcome at this tabl[D5]e,
said,brother you look [A7sus]like you could use [D5]a friend.
and there's no need to pa[G/D]y if you're not [D5]able,
'cause even Jes[A7sus]us was a hom[D5]eless man.
Well, she opened up the wor[G/D]d and started
readi[D5]ng about the savior
and th[A7sus]e woman at th[D5]e well.
Said it ain't for me to jud[G/D]ge this life [D5]you're leading,
there's only two things that can sa[A7sus]ve your soul [D5]from hell.
Chorus:
It's[G/D] bread and water,
man, that's all you need.
[D5]Bread and water, a place to rest your feet.
You[Em7] ain't to proud t[G/F#]o get down on your[G] knees
for bread and water's free.

Verse 3:
[D5] When he bowed his hea[G/D]d he kind of choked[D5] up,
they spoke ev'ry wor[A7sus]d of Our Lord'[D5]s prayer.
He closed his ey[G/D]es, and neve[D5]r woke up.
And he'll find bread and w[A7sus]ater waiting there.[D5]
Outro Chorus:
[G/D]Bread and water, man, that's all you need.
[D5]Bread and water, place to rest your feet.
[G]Bread and water, man, that's all you need.
[D5]Bread and water, brother just believe.
If you[Em7] ain't too proud t[G/F#]o get down on
your[G] knees for bread and water's free.
For bread and water's free.
