VERSE 1:
I was Amwalking through the Am7/Gcounters of a Bm7national conA7cern
And a F/Ccash machine was Cspitting by my GshoulderCadd9  
And I Amsaw the multiAm7/Gtude of faces, Bm7honest, rich and A7clean
As the F/Cmerchandise exchaCnged and money GroaredCadd9  
And a Cwoman hot with Gworry slyly Amslipped a tin of Am7/Gstewing steak
D/F#Into the paper Cbag at her GsideCadd9  
And her Cface was white with Gfear in case her Amactions
Were Am7/Gobserved
So she D/F#closed her eyes to Ckeep her conscience GblindCadd9  
CHORUS:
Crying AmGod knows I'm Am7/Ggood 
D7/F#God knows I'm Fgood

Then she Ammoved toward the Am7/Gexit clutching Bm7tightly at her A7paper bag
F/CPerspiration Ctrickled down her Gforehead         Cadd9  
And her Amheart it leapt inAm7/Gside her as the Bm7hand laid on her A7shoulder
She was F/Cled away beCwildered and aGmazedCadd9  
Through her Cdeafened ears the Gcash machines were Amshrieking on the Am7/Gcounter
As her D/F#escort asked her Csoftly for her Gname
And a Ccrowd of honest Gpeople rushed to Amhelp a tired old Am7/Glady
Who had D/F#fainted to the Cwhirling wooden Gfloor

David Bowie - God Knows I'm Good

INTRO:

G Cadd9 G F/C C

VERSE 1:

Am Am7/G Bm7 A7

I was walking through the counters of a national concern

F/C C G Cadd9

And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder

Am Am7/G Bm7 A7

And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean

F/C C G Cadd9

As the merchandise exchanged and money roared

C G Am Am7/G

And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak

D/F# C G Cadd9

Into the paper bag at her side

C G Am

And her face was white with fear in case her actions

Am7/G

Were observed

D/F# C G Cadd9

So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind

CHORUS:

Am Am7/G

Crying God knows I'm good

D7/F# F

God knows I'm good

F E

God knows I'm good

Am C/G E

God may look the other way today

Am Am7/G

God knows I'm good

D7/F# F

God knows I'm good

F E

God knows I'm good

Am C/G E

God may look the other way today

VERSE 2:

Am Am7/G Bm7 A7

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag

F/C C G Cadd9

Perspiration trickled down her forehead

Am Am7/G Bm7 A7

And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder

F/C C G Cadd9

She was led away bewildered and amazed

C G Am Am7/G

Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter

D/F# C G

As her escort asked her softly for her name

C G Am Am7/G

And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady

D/F# C G

Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor

CHORUS:

Am Am7/G

Crying God knows I'm good

D7/F# F

God knows I'm good

F E

God knows I'm good

Am C/G E

Surely God won't look the other way

Am Am7/G

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

F E

God knows I'm good

Am C/G E

Surely God won't look the other way
