Verse 1
E5
His pulpit's a corner on Nineteenth and Main
AE5
His grip on the Gospel his one claim to fame.
He hurls fire and brimstone at the cars passing by
AEB7E5Bm7
and he offers sal---vation for the Sav-ior on high.
E5
His khakis are tattered and he ain't bathed in weeks
AE5
his bout with the bot-tle shows up on his cheeks.
He looks like a scare--crow a sight to be-hold
AEB7E
as he works for the Shep-herd bring-in' lambs to the fold.
Bm7AE
He points to the Bi ble he holds in his hands
AEF#7A
says, " I'm proof that the Good Lord can save an-y man."
CHORUS
E
Son it ain't what you're drivin'
AE
or the clothes that you wear
AB7
material possessions won't matter up there.
E A--HOLD NOTE---------
And some-day in heav-en when the angels all sing
EB7Bm7
these rags that I'm wear-in' will be fit for a king.
Verse 2
E5
He's fightin' the fever in spite of the chill,
AE5
he pulls up his collar and he speaks God's will.
His body is weakened but his faith is still strong,
AEB7E5
for he's filled with con--viction for the mission he's on.
Bm7AE
He knows soon in heav--en He'll be home--less no more,
AEF#7A
As his work will soon echo from that far distant shore.
Repeat chorus:
