G
She's got a warm heart she got a soft tongue
            C
She gives a coffee cup to a drunken old bum
       G                                                            D    C
And he doesn't have to thank her cause she knows that he's feeling alone
             G 
She puts her hand out where no church bells ring
            C 
She doesn't say too much till she gets up to sing
       G                       D                      G
To the penniless losers on the sidewalk with faces of stone


Chorus:
    C                         G 
She moans tender mercies to a world running wild
      C                                       D
She's got the face of an angel, she's got the soul of a child
        C                         G        Em      
And I'm stuck in the cold, she'll wait for awhile
      C                          D            G  
She's captured my heart with her sweet summer smile


She tells the twilight of all her days blessed
She greets the sunrise in her cool cotton dress
And she'll never be judging, she stands in her own pair of shoes
And I'm a stranger she's earned my trust
Singing songs about heaven and Jesus
She works hard all day long just to keep from singing the blues


Chorus:
    C                         G 
She moans tender mercies to a world running wild
      C                                       D
She's got the face of an angel, she's got the soul of a child
        C                         G        Em      
And I'm stuck in the cold, she'll wait for awhile
      C                          D            G  
She's captured my heart with her sweet summer smile


BRIDGE:
    F                         C                 G
I'd always thought heaven was someplace so far away
      F                           C                 D    C
But I found some salvation in the love of another today


She cries for the lonesome to the stars up above
She takes all my hate and brings me back love
And she lives with a passion like nobody I've ever known
In a lost crowd she'll find a friend singing out loud
Her day doesn't end till she's helped some lost drifter
To find the way to his home


Chorus:
    C                         G 
She moans tender mercies to a world running wild
      C                                       D
She's got the face of an angel, she's got the soul of a child
        C                         G        Em      
And I'm stuck in the cold, she'll wait for awhile
      C                          D            G  
She's captured my heart with her sweet summer smile
