Beggar
by Jeff Majors

Album: Sacred Major 7th

(L)
Woke up this morning
Didn't have no bed
Had no water to wash my head
I knew my days would start.
Just like the rest
Hoping to survive in the streets
Of unrest
I'm a beggar

Walking the streets night and day
Had a job and a family
Everyone asked
What happened,
What happened to me

(L+C)
you see my days are long and my
nights are cold
and I don't know which way to go
I'm a beggar

(L)
Said I'm not a thief,
No, no

(C)
He's not a thief, he's not a thief, he's not a thief
He's a beggar

(L)
Somebody hear my plea

(C)
He's not a thief, help me please can't you see
He's a beggar

(L)
Just a beggar

(C)
You know my days are long

(L)
Days are long

(C)
And the nights are cold

(L)
Nights are cold

(C)
And I don't know which way to go

(L)
I don't know which way to go

(C)
I'm a beggar

(L)
I'm a beggar
Yea, yea

(L)
Said I'm not a thief…
No

(C)
He's not a thief, he's not a thief, he's not a thief
He's a beggar

(L)
Somebody help me please

(C)
He's not a thief, help me please can't you see
He's a beggar

(L)
Hear my plea

(C)
I know my day would start like the rest

(L)
Just like the rest

(C)
Hoping to survive in the streets of unrest.
I'm a beggar

(L)
I'm a beggar
Somebody, somebody play my song

(C)
he's a beggar

(L)
I'm a beggar
Ain't tryin to steal from you
I'm a beggar
Yeah

(L)
All of my life's possessions are
Here in my cart
No one sees the treasures that's
Here in my heart
I'm just a nomad man
In a distant land
Doing the very best I can
But I'm a beggar

(L)
Somebody, somebody tell them
I'm not a thief…

(C)
He's not a thief, he's not a thief, he's not a thief
He's a beggar

(L)
Somebody help me please…

(C)
He's not a thief, help me please can't you see
He's a beggar

(L)
Oh, oh, yea, yea

(C)
I know my days are long and the nights are cold

(L)
Said its cold out here

(C)
And I don't know which way to go
I'm a beggar

(L)
I'm a beggar

Had big hopes and dreams
Had big hopes and dreams

(C)
He's not a thief, he's not a thief, he's not a thief
He's a beggar

(L)
Had a big old house

(C)
He's not a thief, help me please, can't you see
He's a beggar

(L)
Drove the finest cars
Had a great family supporting me

(C)
You know my days are long and the nights are cold

(L)
Now those things are gone and
I'm so all alone

(C)
I don't know which way to go,
I'm a beggar

(L)
I'm a beggar

Said, said I'm just wondering
Would somebody help me please
See the nights are cold
My hopes and dreams are gone
Moving from here to there
Sometimes I get scared
See cause I'm a beggar
