Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
There's a man in [D]the corner
and [A]his clothes [D]are worn
And he's [Bm]holding [F#m]out his [D]hand
You could [G]see in his eye[D]s
as the people [F#]walk [Bm]by
[A]He kno[G]ws they don't under[D]sta[Em]nd
Ya see [G]they just think

[Verse 2]
[A]he's gonna
take [Bm]their money
And go and spend [A]it on [G]dope
Then a man stopped [D]by and I
saw a [F#]smile [Bm]in s[A]ide him
As he [G]gently [A]whispered hope
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[A][D]
Well the tramp started to cry,
just kept saying,
[A]"Why? why[D]? why?
Could you [Bm]see I'm a down a[F#m]n' out
[D]Well [G]I'm [D]32 and I've
got this [F#]one pair of shoes
[Bm]And [A]a bad [G]taste in my [D]mout[Em]h
I think [G]it's clear to [A]see that even
[Bm]God don't love me
Or else [G]why would He
[A]leave me this [G]way."

[Verse 4]
Then [G]Gabriel [D]just smiled and
[F#]said be peaced my [Bm]child[A]
[G]Salvation is her[A]e tod[D]ay

[Verse 5]
[G]He got up to his[D] feet and
[A]he sang Halle[D]lujah[G]
[D]People wer[A]e turning around in [D]the street
[G]He looked them in the eye[D]s and he [A]sang,
"Hallelu[D]jah[G]
There's someone [A]here
that [Bm]you gotta [A]meet
[G]Someone you just got[A]ta meet."
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[A]
[D]
When the vagabond turned around
[A]well without a [D]sound
Gab[Bm]riel just [A]smiled and [D]disappeared
When [G]he looked to [D]the crowd and
they were laugh[F#]ing o[Bm]ut loud
[A]But he [G]could not see the[D]m for tea[Em]rs
[G]When his vision came round
[A]There was a young gir[Bm]l on the ground
I knew she was [F#m]findin' [A]it hard to [G]cope
She never was a [D]fighter until
[F#]he lay [Bm]beside [A]her
And [G]gently [A]whispered hope
[D][G]

[Verse 7]
They got up to their [D]feet and
they sang [A]Hallelu[D]jah[G]
[D]People in the [A]street were turning
[D]around[G]
They looked them in the [D]eyes
and [A]they sang,
"Hallelu[D]jah[G]
There's [A]someone here [D]we have found"
They sang,
[G]"Halleluj[D]ah, Hal[A]lel[D]ujah
[G]We are the[D] voices crying
[A]in the wilderness[D]
[G]Hallelujah[D], Hal[A]lelujah."[D]
[G]The people in the[A] street started
[D]their sins to confess
And a chor[G]us of,
"Halle[A]lujah, [D]Hallelujah
[G]Hallelujah[A], Hal[D]lelujah
[G]Every knee will bow[A] and
every [D]tongue confess
[G]and the voice of one cry[A]ing
in the wil[D]derness
crying
[G]Hallelujah, [A]Hal[D]lelujah"
