[ CHORUS ] – – – – – [C] Lord, I hope this day is good.  I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood.  [G7] I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should, but [F] Lord I hope this [G7] day is [C] good

[C] Lord, have you forgotten me?  I’ve been prayin’ to you faithfully. [G7] I’m not sayin’ I’m a righteous man,  but [F] Lord I hope you [G7] under-[C]-stand

[Am] I don’t need [Em] fortune and I [F] don’t need [C] fame.  [Am] Send down the [Em] thunder, Lord,  [F] send down the [C] rain.  [Am] But when you’re [Em] plannin’ just  [F] how it should [C] be,   [G7] Plan a good [F] day for [G7] me

[ CHORUS ]

[Am] You’ve been the [Em] King since the [F] dawn of [C] time.  [Am] All that I’m [Em] askin’ is a [F] little less [C] crime.   [Am] It might be hard for the [Em] devil to do, [G7] But it would be [F] easy for [G7] you

[ CHORUS ]
