Selfishness In Man chords by George Jones

Intro
D  A  D E A

    A       D       A        E
I saw a little beam of sunlight steal across a purple sky
     D       A        B       E
And bend down to kiss a rosebud, oh, it made me wanna cry
  A             D        A        E
To think that I had been per mitted to see a part of nature's plan
      D          A         D      E A
Oh, there's nothin' that stands out more than the selfishness in man

    D         G        D        A
Little children paintin' pictures of the birds and apple trees
    G        D         E        A
Oh, why can't the grown up people have the faith of one of these
    D        G         D        A
And to think those tiny fingers might be come a killer's hand
      G      D        D/F#   G      A D
Oh, there's nothing that stands out more than the selfishness in man.

  A        D       A       D
Why can't we see the folly and the uselessness of hate
      A       D    D/F# E      A  A/G A/F# A/E
Love could lead to under standing maybe it's not loo late
     D         G        D        A
Then per haps in His great wisdom we might learn to under stand
       G      D     D/F#  G      A D
Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness in man.
