Fit For A King
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Jim Rushing and Carl Jackson

C                        G7             C
His pulpit's a corner on Nineteenth and Main
    F                                   C
His grip on the gospel his one claim to fame

He hurls fire and brimstone at the cars passing by
       F      C                 G7        C
And he offers salvation for the Savior on high

                               G7              C
His khakis are tattered and he ain't bathed in weeks
    F                                    C
His bout with the bottle shows up on his cheeks

He looks like a scarecrow a sight to behold
      F             C                 G7           C
As he works for the Shepherd bringing lambs to the fold

   A#7           F        C
He points to the Bible he holds in his hands
         F              C             Dm       F
Says I'm proof that the Good Lord can save any man

                                        F                C
Son it ain't what you're drivin' or the clothes that you wear
                           F         G7
Material possessions won't matter up there
C                                     F
Someday in heaven when the angels all sing
           C                             G7        C
Well these rags that I'm wearin' will be fit for a king

                           G7           C
He's fightin' the fever in spite of the chill
   F                          C
He pulls up his collar and he speaks the God's will

His body is weakened but his faith is still strong
         F              C               G7           C
For he's filled with conviction for the mission he's on

   A#7           F               C
He knows soon in heaven he'll be homeless no more
       F              C              Dm          F
As his work will soon echo from that far distant shore

repeat #4

                                          F
And someday in heaven when the angels all sing
           C                             G7        F
Well these rags that I'm wearin' will be fit for a king
G7        C
Fit for a king
