Daniel Johnston - A Little Story

      
 
 There was this big Guy
        C7          F    
 And He had a great idea.
    C                    
 He built Himself a world
                      G  
 And He put people on it.
 
         C                         
 But the people they turned wicked,
 C7            F     
 And they soon forgot
         C                    
 Who had made their very being
                       G      
 And put them on their planet.
 
        C                            
 So the God He sent His very own Son,
     C7        F   
 His only holy Son.
        C                    
 And He sent Him to the world
                            G    
 'cause something had to be done.
 
 C                                          
 His son walked around and He told the truth
 C7                            F    
 Like the truth had never been told.
        C                
 He was kind to the poor,
                  G    
 His home was the road.
 
 C                      
 Unlike any other heroes
 C7                       F    
 Of which a song could be sung,
          C                 
 He never did bad to anyone.
                 G    
 He never did no harm.
 
 C                                              
 But there were other people who weren't so nice
 C7                           F   
 And they plotted to take His life
         C                    
 And the Man knew all about it
                    G    
 But He didn't even hide.
 
 C                                    
 And they beat Him and they robbed Him
 C7                          F    
 And they hung Him for bein' good.
          C                     
 And they laughed and made jokes
                         G     
 While they stood in his blood.
 
 C                                       
 But there's a happy ending to the story.
 C7                        F   
 I think you'll be glad to know
         C                     
 He came back to life in glory,
                          G     
 And up from the grave He arose.
 
 C                                 
 So before you turn out your light,
 C7                F  
 Remember this one Man
           C                    
 Who lived comfortably in heaven
                                 G     
 But gave it all up to hang on a cross.
 
 C                             
 Because He hung for you and me
 C7                    F    
 And He came to set us free.
            C                   
 'Cause his Dad had a great idea
                               G  C 
 About the way things ought to be.
