Take This Bread

E                B
Take this bread, if you need a friend
E          E7                  A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
E             E7             A
I ain't got a lot, but all I got, you're welcome to it
E             E7             A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright

[Verse 1]
E                   B
My neighbour Odetta, came over to see if I was feeling better
E                   E7                  A
Every morning at 8 through the backyard gate
E                     E7               A                                       E
And of all the pretty things she would bring, there was nothing like that song she sang
                         A
That could ease my sorry state, she'd sing to me:
E                B
Take this bread, if you need a friend
E          E7                  A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
E             E7             A
I ain't got a lot, but all I got, you're welcome to it
E             E7             A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright


[Bridge]
B   A     E
Sha la na na, sha la la la-la
B  A     E   F#       B
Na na na-na, La na-na na


[Chorus]
E               B
Whoa! Take this bread, sure thing,
E                                 A
If I got bread you got bread, and everybody in my company has got bread
E                           A
You look a little hungry, I ain't even that hungry, that's how I look at it
E                                                        A
Butter side up, butter side down, Doesn't matter to me, if you got a slice, that's nice.

[Verse 2]
E                   B
I went for a walk, headlights in the dark
E                               A
The man was dying in a pick-up truck
E                                    A
He took her from the Walmart parking lot, and killed her by the river
E                              A
But the cops caught him in the guns.. And I said to him..

[Outro]
E                B
Take this bread, if you need a friend
E          E7                  A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
E             E7             A
I ain't got a lot, but all I got, you're welcome to it
E             E7             A
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
A                E
Take this bread, if you need a friend
A               A7             D
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
A             A7              D
I ain't got a lot, but all I got, You're welcome to it
A                               D
'Cause I'm alright if you're alright
                       A
I'm alright if you're alright
