THREE LITTLE PENNIES
D A G D G D A
There was an old blind man stood on the corner downtown
D A G D G D G A
He was holding a cup filled up with nothin' from the Christmas shopping crowd
G A
And though I barely came up to the top of his cane
G A
I reached up and gave him every cent to my name
D A G D
Three little pennies were all that I had
G D G A
One that I found and two from my Dad
D A G D
Three little pennies not much of a gift
G D A D
But Dad said that plenty if its all you can give
D A G D G D A
That evening my Dad told a wonderful story to me
D A G D
about a child in a manger and wiseman who came
G D A
baring gifts on the first Christmas Eve
G A
There was a part that I was sure he made up about a
G A
stable boy who couldn't give much
D A G D
Three little pennies were all that I had
G D G A
One that I found and two from my Dad
D A G D
Three little pennies not much of a gift
G D A D
But Dad said that plenty if its all you can give
D A G D G D A
Next mornin was Christmas and I had prayed hard for a bike
D A G D G D A
But all that I found was the tiniest box with three shiny pennies inside
G A
But I was so disappointed cause I had been good
G A
But times have been bad so I understood and Daddy said
D A G D
Three little pennies were all that I had
G D G A
You gave them freely so I gave'm back
D A G D
Three little pennies not much of a gift
G D A D
Your bike is outside cause you've learned how to give
