Chords for 5 Blind Boys of Mississippi "Lord, You've Been Good To Me" 1965 (Reelin' In The Years Archives)

[Gm] Oh, we have many customs in gospel singing.
[G] One is that usually when we're singing,
the rest of the blind boys are humming in the background.
Oh, let them hear you hum a little bit, fellas.
_ _ Sounds good, doesn't it?
And another custom we have at home _ on New Year's Eve night,
we gather to thank [A] God for [G] sparing us
through [C] the past year.
_ And of course, just a few days ago,
we were gathered in a church in Brooklyn, New York.
_ And there, people stood up to testify
because the Lord had [G] spared them over the years.
Somebody said he's been my mother
because mother's gone on.
Somebody else said he's been [C] my father because I'm fatherless.
Someone else was thankful because he had been
bred when they were hungry.
And when I rose to make my testimony,
I said, [G] Lord, I thank you because you've been _ eyes
because I cannot see.
You've led me from one good degree of grace to another.
This is the way we praise him in Mississippi.
And when I finished thanking him for blessing [C] me
in this [Em] special manner, we had a song to sing.
And it was, [C] Lord, [G] you've been good to me.
You've saved my soul from [Dm] sin and [G] shame. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So be it.
So be [C] it.
There's no other.
_ [G] So be it. _
So be it.
So long, long, long.
So [Dm] be [C] it.
[Em] So [Dm] [C] save [E] my living.
[C] _
[G] So long, long, long.
So be it.
[Dm] So long.
_ [C] _ [B] _ [C] _ [G] So long.
So _ _ _ long. _
So be it.
[C] So long.
_ [Em] _ [Dm] [Gm] So long.
So [C] long.
So be it.
[Em] So long.
[G] So long.
So long.
So long.
So long. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So long.
What did he _ say?
He said, hey, he led me to the promise of man.
He [Em] did.
He did. He [C] did.
Oh, [Em] that's what he [Dm] said.
_ [C] Oh, yes, [G] he did. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
