[Verse 1]
    G
Everyday over by the store
                     C                           G
There's an old guitar player playin' music by the score
                                     Em
He sings 'bout Jesus and praisin' the Lord
                          G        D                       G
Telllin' stories 'bout the old days back when he was in the war

[Verse 2]
                G
Not a day passes by that I don't hear him play
               C                         G
I listen to the words and the things they have to say
                                       Em
Especially the ones 'bout God's gift to every man
           G                    D                         G
And how his sight's been taken away but he's still got his hands

[Chorus]
             C                 G
'Cause he's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
                                         D
With his guitar pick and his Bible in his hand
         G
Well, the crowds will never know how many times he fell
   C                 G
And it's God's way of evening the score
                        D              G
He's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man

[Verse 3]
            G
He ain't got nickel or a dime to his name
                   C                    G
He don't care about fortune or havin' no fame
                                        Em
If you're ever feelin' down or get kinda bored
                   G                    D               G
You oughta hear him sing standin' on the promises of the Lord

[Chorus]
             C                 G
'Cause he's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
                                         D
With his guitar pick and his Bible in his hand
        G
Well, he crossed the Devil's door many times before
   C                 G
And it's God's way of evening the score
                        D              G
He's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man

[Instrumental]
G  C  G  Em  G  D  G

[Chorus]
             C                 G
'Cause he's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
                                         D
With his guitar pick and his Bible in his hand
        G
Well, he crossed the Devil's door many times before
   C                 G
And it's God's way of evening the score
                        D              G
He's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
                              D              G
Well, he's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
                              D              C  G
Well, he's a flat-top pickin', gospel singin' man
