C                             F
Grandma she don't really get around good anymore
   Dm
In fact to get her out of the house
   G
is really quite a chore

But every day somebody seems to

   Dm
To see if Grandma needs something
     G
from where they go to shop

'Cause you see


Chorus:

F          G         C
Love helps those who cannot help themselves
   F                 G
It cares about those hearts
            C
that's been put up on a shelf
        F           G
It will introduce a lonely soul
     C              Am
to a lonely someone else
F                    G               C       F
Love helps those who cannot help themselves


Verse 2:

    C
Mr. Johnson has a small farm
        F
down in southern Tennessee
    Dm
But one year he took ill
           G
before the time to plant the seed
    C
And no one knows which neighbor planted
F
or they just won't tell
       Dm
But he had the best crop ever
       G
by the time that he got well

'Cause you see

Verse 3:

D
A little helpless baby child
    G
was born into this world
    Em
She didn't have a daddy
        A
and her mother was just a girl
          D
But there came a young man willing
        G
to give both of them a home
    Em
The girl he married, the child he cherished
   A
as though she was his own

'Cause you see
