Monk and Neagle
Twenty First Time
Standard Tuning
You can either strum normal, or play the bass note then strum the rest of the chord.
Either way it sounds fine. I think Monk and Neagle pick the bass first.
This is how I play it.

Nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
he used to have money, but heâs wasted it all.
His face is a photograph burned in my mind,
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He sleeps under stars, thatâs all he can afford
His blanket s an old coat heâs had since the war
He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He may be a drifter, heâs grown old and gray
But what if heâs Jesus and I walk away?
I say Iâm the body and drink of the wine
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Sheâs twenty-nine but she feels forty-eight
She canât raise three kids on minimum wage
Sheâs cryinâ in back of the welfare line
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
She may be a stranger tryinâ to get through the day
but what if itâs Jesus and i walk away?
I say Iâm the body and drink of the wine
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
This is a call for a change in my heart
I realize that Iâve not been doinâ my part
when I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
He gave to me, now Iâll give back to them
Drifter or stranger, Daughter or son
Iâll look for Jesus in every one
âcause I am the body and drink of the wine
and Iâm thankful thereâs more than the twenty-first time
