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
