Passing The Hat

Em B Em B Em Look up from the hymnal, look 'round at the faces of families closing their B eyes Em B Em B We're taking Communion and passing the offering hat around at the same time Am Em B7 Em I reached for the hat and take all the cash And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve And leave in its place a note to explain All of the reasons that stealing has led me to leave Em B If there was a worthy cause for to give to Em B May I be so bold as to say Em B The givers not knowing where their money is going Em B Is as sinful as throwing away Am Em B7 Em Stained glasses shine on my red wine Am Em B7 Em And the sweat of my brow drips to my shaking knees Am Em B7 Em A small sacrifice to benefit one man's Am Em B7 Em journey away from America's seas Am Em B7 Em Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
