She's a Flittle overdressedG  
But it Fnever hurts to shCine
She inFvokes the turtle Gdove
She aFwaits the number Amnine
Standing aEmlone in the Fgrey of the mornGing
But Csoon the Friders come to Gwait
And they Ftake their papers outC  
They Fdo not know the Ggirl
But they Fknow that she's aboutAm  
Keeping the Clight and the warnGing
CHORUS:
N.C.                    Dsus2  C  
And the bus comes like thun--der
And the doves rise aDsus2round Cher
And she don't mind the GmwinterC  F  
'Cause she's Gworkin' for AmJesus
And she's Dmworkin' for Flove
And she's Gworkin' for Clove
INTERLUDE:    C     G     C     G  C  
There's a Fclock beside the Gbed
There's a Fbible on the Cstand
She will Fcome home after Gdark
She will Ftake the book in handAm  
Feeling the Emgrains of the Fblack leather Gbinding
And Cso, she Fspeaks to me someGtimes
Of Fflesh and mortal chainsC  
And Fwhere the ashes Ggo
And the Fspirit that remainsAm  
Rising like Cmist, see it shinGing
CHORUS:
N.C.                      Dsus2  C  
And her words sound like thun--der
And the spirit has Dsus2found hCer
And she knows how to Gmreach meC  F  
'Cause she's Gworkin' for AmJesus
And she's Dmworkin' for Flove
And she's Gworkin' for Clove
INTERLUDE:    C     G     C     G     C     G     C     G  C  
Well, I have Fset my foot uponG  
The Froad of black and whiteC  
I have Fpassed the gates of Gdawn
I am Fmaking for the lightAm  
Barring the Emdoor on the Fdarkness and Gsorrow
But Cshe is Fsomewhere up aGhead
She is Ffar beyond my reachC  
She has Fwalked across the Gsea
She is Fsleeping on the beachAm  
Bordering Ctime and tomorGrow
CHORUS:
N.C.                  Dsus2  C  
And her days pass in won---der
And the angels surDsus2round hCer
And she don't even Gmmiss meC  F  
'Cause she's Gworkin' for AmJesus
And she's Dmworkin' for Flove
And she's Gworkin' for AmJesus
And she's Dmworkin' for Flove
And she's Gworkin' for AmJesus
And she's Dmworkin' for Flove
And she's Gworkin' for CloveG  
And she's Fworkin' for CloveG  
And she's Fworkin' for Clove
