Am                  Am/G         Bm         C
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               Bm               C
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
         F             C                 G     C C
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
       Am             Am/G        Am                  Am/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of a stewing steak
 Bm            C            G   C C
Into the paper bag at her side
         Am                 Am/G              Am           Am/G
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
          Bm               C                    G    C C
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind

[Chorus 1]
         Am            Am/G  Am/F#         F
Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
 F             E7    Am               Am/G       E7
God knows I'm good, God may look the other way today
Am             Am/G  Am/F#          F
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
 F             E7    Am               Am/G       E7   (intro)
God knows I'm good, God may look the other way today"

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
She was led away bewildered and amazed
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
As her escort asked her softly for her name
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor

[Chorus 2]
Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
God knows I'm good, surely God won't look the other way
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
God knows I'm good, surely God won't look the other way"  Hey!
