Am Am/G E7sus4 A7
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
F C G C C
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
Am Am/G E7sus4 A7
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
F C G C C
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
C G Am Am/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
D C G C C
Into the paper bag at her side
C G Am Am/G
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
D C G C C
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
_______Am Am/G
Crying God knows I'm good
Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
God may look the other way today
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good

God may look the other way today

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
F C G C C
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
Am Am/G E7sus4 A7
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
F C G C C
She was led away bewildered and amazed
C G Am Am/G
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
D C G C C
As her escort asked her softly for her name
C G Am Am/G
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
D C G C C
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
_____Am Am/G
Crying God knows I'm good
Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
Surely God won't look
the other way
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good

Surely God won't look
the other way
