GOD KNOWS I'M GOOD- David Bowie
INTRO: G C C G F C (rpt)
I was waAmlking through the coAm/Gunters of a nBmational conCcern
And a Fcash machine was sCpitting by my shGoulder C C
And I sAmaw the mulAm/Gtitude of faces, hoBmnest, rich and clCean
As the meFrchandise exchCanged and money roGared C C
Am Am/G Am Am/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of a stewing steak
IBmnto the paper Cbag at her siGde C C
Am Am/G Am Am/G
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
So she cloBmsed her eyes to kCeep her conscience blGind C C
CHORUS #1:
Crying &qAmuot;God knows Am/GI'm goAm/F#od, God knows FI'm good
GFod knows I'm gEood, GAmod may look the oAm/Gther way toEday
AmGod knows I'm gAm/Good, GAm/F#od knows I'm goFod
F E Am Am/G E (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!
