Three Little Pennies

D            A        G         
There was an old blind man stood
          D              G   D A
 on the corner downtown
    D          A       G          
He was holding a cup filled up 
D          G              D     
with nothin' from the Christmas 
       G         A
shopping crowd
                       G           
And though I barely came up to the 
                     A
top of his cane
   G                               
I reached up and gave him every 
                A
cent to my name

            D                A    
Three little pennies were all that
               G            D
 I had
             G              D     
One that I found and two from my 
         G                  A
Dad
            D                A    
Three little pennies not much of a
             G              D
 gift
                 G                 
But Dad said that plenty if its all
  D                A              
 you can give

D                          A     
That evening my Dad told a 
               G          D

Christmas Eve
G                                 
There was a part that I was sure 
         A
he made up about a
 G                      A
stable boy who couldn't give much

            D                A

D      A                G       
Next mornin was Christmas and I 
           D             G    D A
had prayed hard for a bike
D         A                    G
But all that I found was the 
       D             G            
tiniest box with three shiny 
  D            A
pennies inside
                G                
But I was so disappointed cause I 
                 A
had been good
       G                    
But times have been bad so I 
              A
understood and Daddy said

D                 A              
Three little pennies were all 
    G             D
that I had
G                       D        
You gave them freely so I gave'm

Your bike is outside cause you've 
                          A        
learned how to give
