C F C F
C F
Grandma she don't really get around good anymore
Dm
In fact to get her out of the house
G
is really quite a chore
C
But every day somebody seems to
F
find the time to stop
Dm
To see if Grandma needs something
G
from where they go to shop
'Cause you see
[Chorus]
F G C
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
F G
It cares about those hearts
C
that's been put up on a shelf
F G
It will introduce a lonely soul
C Am
to a lonely someone else
F G C F
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
[Verse 2]
C
Mr. Johnson has a small farm
F
down in southern Tennessee
Dm
But one year he took ill
G
before the time to plant the seed
C
And no one knows which neighbor planted
F
or they just won't tell
Dm
But he had the best crop ever
G
by the time that he got well
'Cause you see
[Repeat Chorus](Chord change at end of chorus)

D
A little helpless baby child
G
was born into this world
Em
She didn't have a daddy
A
and her mother was just a girl
D
But there came a young man willing
G
to give both of them a home
Em
The girl he married, the child he cherished
A
as though she was his own
'Cause you see
[Chorus]
