Verse 
    D5                  G/D          D5 
One night he wandered in to that old mission, 
                   A7sus            D5 
the one down on the poor side of town. 
                       G/D        D5 
He really had no int'rest in salvation, 
                              A7sus       D5 
just a place to lay his drunk old body down. 
              G/D      D5 
He said, ma'am, I sure am hungry 
                 A7sus              D5 
and I don't have a penny to my name. 
                         G/D          D5 
Lord knows I hadn't worked in a month of Sundays. 
                    A7sus    D5 
I'm dirty, dead 'broke and so ashamed. 


      G/D 
I need bread an water man that's all I need. 
G/D 
Bread and water, a place to rest my feet. 
  Em7               G/F# 
I ain't too proud to get down on my 
G 
knees for bread and water's free.

verse 2: 
D5                        G/D               D5 
She said, you're always welcome at this table, 
                      A7sus              D5 
said,brother you look like you could use a friend. 
                         G/D             D5 
and there's no need to pay if you're not able, 
               A7sus       D5 
'cause even Jesus was a homeless man. 
                           G/D 
Well, she opened up the word and started 
     D5 
reading about the savior 
      A7sus        D5 
and the woman at the well. 
                           G/D          D5 
Said it ain't for me to judge this life you're leading, 
                                   A7sus        D5 
there's only two things that can save your soul from hell. 

 
    G/D 
It's bread and water, 

man, that's all you need. 
D5 
Bread and water, a place to rest your feet. 
   Em7              G/F#              G 
You ain't to proud to get down on your knees 

for bread and water's free.

D5 G/D D5 


verse 3: 
D5                      G/D                D5 
   When he bowed his head he kind of choked up, 
                    A7sus         D5 
they spoke ev'ry word of Our Lord's prayer. 
                G/D         D5 
He closed his eyes, and never woke up. 
                          A7sus              D5 
And he'll find bread and water waiting there.
