D. He was an old hand at livin' and makin' his way 
    Bm               A              G        A 
He smelled like old whiskey and he needed a shave 
     Bm          A         G       
His home was an alley off 8th Avenue 
    D                      A       G

He'd tell you the Gospel according to Luke 
 
2. Luke carried his Bible in a crown royal bag 
He wiped off his brow with an old dirty rag 
He'd tell you straight out just the way he believed 
Faith in the good Lord was all that ya need 
I remember the mornin' he first preached to me 
 
             Bm           A         G         D 
CH: He said give to your brother is he is in need 
Bm        A              G            A 
Offer up thanks for the gifts you receive 
         Bm          A              G 
There's treasure in heaven for the generous few 
D                      A          D   D  D  G  D 
That was the gospel according to Luke 
 
3. So I bought him breakfast at the Daylight Cafe 
Biscuits and gravy, hot coffee, and eggs 
He was hungry and ragged, hadn't eaten in days 
But I was the one there who felt out of place 
When he folded his hands, bowed his head, and said grace

G. A week ago Wednesday, I saw him again 
Downtown at the mission, surrounded by friends 
Handin' out all the change he'd collected that week 
Sayin' you boys might need this a lot more than me 
I try hard to practice the words that I preach 
 
CH: Give your brother if he is in need 
Offer up thanks for the gifts you receive 
There's treasure in heaven for the generous few 
That was the gospel according to Luke 
 
A. He was an old hand at livin' and makin' his way
