Verse
    D5                  G/D          D5
One night he wandered in to that old mission,
                   A7sus            D5
the one down on the poor side of town.
                       G/D        D5
He really had no int'rest in salvation,
                              A7sus       D5
just a place to lay his drunk old body down.
              G/D      D5
He said, ma'am, I sure am hungry
                 A7sus              D5
and I don't have a penny to my name.
                         G/D          D5
Lord knows I hadn't worked in a month of Sundays.
                    A7sus    D5
I'm dirty, dead 'broke and so ashamed.

G/D
Bread and water, a place to rest my feet.
  Em7               G/F#
I ain't too proud to get down on my
G
knees for bread and water's free.

Verse 2:
D5                        G/D               D5
She said, you're always welcome at this table,
                      A7sus              D5
said,brother you look like you could use a friend.
                         G/D             D5
and there's no need to pay if you're not able,
               A7sus       D5
'cause even Jesus was a homeless man.
                           G/D
Well, she opened up the word and started
     D5
reading about the savior
      A7sus        D5
and the woman at the well.
                           G/D          D5
Said it ain't for me to judge this life you're leading,
                                   A7sus        D5
there's only two things that can save your soul from hell.

It's bread and water,

man, that's all you need.

Bread and water, a place to rest your feet.
   Em7              G/F#              G
You ain't to proud to get down on your knees

for bread and water's free.

D5                      G/D                D5
   When he bowed his head he kind of choked up,
                    A7sus         D5
they spoke ev'ry word of Our Lord's prayer.
                G/D         D5
He closed his eyes, and never woke up.
                          A7sus              D5
And he'll find bread and water waiting there.
