A Little Story Tabs & Lyrics by Daniel Johnston
A Little Story
guitar tabs lyrics
C
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.
