God knows im good

David Bowie



 AmAm/GBmC
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
 FCGCC
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder  
 AmAm/GBmC
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
 FCGCC
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared  
 AmAm/GAmAm/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of a stewing steak
 BmCGCC
Into the paper bag at her side  
 AmAm/GAmAm/G
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
 BmCGCC
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind  
CHORUS #1:
 AmAm/GAm/F#F
Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
 FEAmAm/GE
God knows I'm good, God may look the other way today
 AmAm/GAm/F#F
 God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
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!
NOTE: chords are just a best guess. Any improvements welcome.
