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.



Chorus:
      G/D
I need bread an water man that's all I need.
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.



Chorus:
    G/D
It's bread and water,

man, that's all you need.
D5
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.

Verse 3:
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.

Bread and water, man, that's all you need.

G
Bread and water, man, that's all you need.

Bread and water, brother just believe.
      Em7               G/F#
If you ain't too proud to get down on
    G
your knees for bread and water's free.

For bread and water's free.
