[Verse 1]
G
I was sittin’ at the bar; next to this old man
C
he had scars on his face, old burns on his hands
G D
he was pattin’ his pockets so I offered to buy him a beer
G
He caught me lookin’ and he smiled and said
C
I know it’s ugly but it ain’t that bad
G D G
theses scars’ve brought me more blessings than they have tears
G
His eyes got all hazy and he stared off in space
C
and he spun me a tale of a cold winter day
G D
he was walkin’ home from work and a chill ran right up his back
G
he said he’s still not sure why he turned around
C
the day the sunday school uptown burned down
G D G
but he got those kids out safe right before it collapsed
G
He said this scar on my cheek’s from laura’s fingernail
C
she was shakin’ so bad, she was coughin’ and pale
G D
all I could see headin’t through that smoke was her green eyes
G
and it must’ve been a miracle we found the door
C
I thought we’d all die in thtat inferno for sure
G D G
I held onto that girl like hope until her parents arrived

G
I sat with him for a while, put his drinks on my tab
C
I said you keep in touch with ‘em, he said yeah
G D
Paul’s up in Michigan, running for Senate this fall
G
Charlie’s a dentist, Laura's a teacher
C
Bobby McGuire’s the new Baptist preacher
G D G
He said that day made him believe in a plan for us all
G
So I thought about roads that turn to dead ends
C
And of Heroes unseen among their fellow men
G A
How a whisper of hope can foster the winds of change
G
He finished his beer and slapped me on the back
C
Said "Boy live each day just like it’s your last.
G D G
Thanks for the drinks, maybe someday we can do it again"
G
I said "Tt’s my pleasure", and I watched him walk out
C
Knowing I’d look at life from different eyes now
G D
I got up and paid for my drinks still shaking my head
G
Bartender said "That Joe, yeah, he's sure somethin'
C
Has a freak accident toasting English muffins
G D G
and now everynight he’s got a generous new friend."
G

C
He had scars on his face; old burns on his hands
