[Verse 1]
A D A
If a king owned the cattle of a thousand hills,
A E
all the wealth of the world and the things that it gives,
E A D A
own the keys to a city with streets of pure gold,
A E A
tell me what could a beggar give to be in his fold
 
[Chorus]
A D A
What Could A Beggar Give A King,
A E
What Could an outcast give one who owns everything,
A D A
An old beggar could give nothing, But, for a poor wretch like me,
A E D
But, God gave his son, his son gave his life and the beggar goes free
 
[Verse 2]
A D A
Like Blind Bartemaus I sat by the way,
A E
A beggar lost in the dark- can't see light of day,
A D A
twas sure sweet of Jesus just to pass by my way,
A E A
He gave me this brand new coat , that I wear today
 
[Chorus]
A D A
What Could A Beggar Give A King,
A E
What Could an outcast give one who owns everything,
A D A
An old beggar could give nothing, But, for a poor wretch like me,
A E D
But, God gave his son, his son gave his life and the beggar goes free
