Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
There [G]was an old, blind man
Who stood [C]on [G]the corner
down town
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]
he was [G]holding a cup
Filled up [C]with noth[G]ing
From [C]the christmas shop[G]ping [Am]crowd[D]
And though I [C]barely came up to
the [D]top of his cane
[C]I reached up and gave him
Every [D]cent to my name.

[Verse 3]
(chor[G]us):
Three little [D]pennies.
Were [C]all that I [G]had
[C]One that I'd [G]found
[Am]Two from my [D]dad
[G]Three little [D]pennies not [C]much of a [G]gift
But [Am]Dad said "that's p[G]lenty,
if it's [D]all you can give."
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[D]
that [G]evening my dad told a wonderful
story to [C]me[G][Am][D]
About [G]a child and the manger.
The wise [C]men [G]who came bearing [C]gifts
on [Bm]the first [G]christmas [Am]eve.[D]
[C]There was a part I'm [D]sure he made up
About [C]a stable boy who
[D]couldn't give much..

[Verse 5]
(chor[G]us)
Three little [D]pennies.
Were [C]all that he [G]had
[C]One that he'd [G]found
[Am]Two from his d[D]ad
[G]Three little [D]pennies not [C]much of a gift
[G]But [Am]Dad said "that's p[G]lenty if it's
[D]all you can give."

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][D]

[Verse 6]
next [G]morning was christmas
And I had [C]prayed [G]hard for
a [C]bike[G][Am][D]
But [G]all that I found was
[C]the tiniest [G]box
[C]With three shiny [G]pennies inside
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[D]
and I [C]was so disapointed because
[D]I had been good
[C]But times had been bad
so [D]I understood.

[Verse 8]
And daddy said:
[G]"three little [D]pennies.
Were [C]all that you [G]had
[C]But you gave them [G]freely
So [Am]I gave them bac[D]k
[G]Three little [D]pennies not
[C]much of a [G]gift
You're [Am]bike is [G]outside because you've
[D]learned how to give"

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
