VERSE 1
A
A Samarian woman came running to the city
D A
To talk about the man she saw
She took her pitcher and went to the well
B7 E
Water she intended to draw
A D
Well the stranger she met there, she didn't know where he came from
Ebdim A
But he told her every sinful thing she had done
B7 E A D A
Blessed my soul and was gone

D
Oh but when he spoke my soul caught on fire
A C D Ebdim
And I'll remember this day until the day that I die
A E A D A
He stopped by to bless my soul and was gone
VERSE 3
A
The stranger was next seen in our city
D A
He was standing off an angry mob
B7
Defending a woman who'd been caught in the very act of adultery
E
For pity and mercy she sought
A
He said "Ye who is without sin, cast the stone!"
D. Ebdim D A
And when he raised her from the ground all her accusers they were gone
B7 E A D A
He gave her a smile, waved farewell and was gone
