Em B

      Em                       B                     Em
Look up from the hymnal, look 'round at the faces of families closing their
B
eyes
      Em                       B                     Em                 B
We're taking Communion and passing the offering hat around at the same time

  Am             Em       B7           Em
I reached for the hat and take all the cash
And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in its place a note to explain
All of the reasons that stealing has led me to leave

      Em                       B
If there was a worthy cause for to give to
 Em                 B
May I be so bold as to say
      Em                       B
The givers not knowing where their money is going
      Em                       B
Is as sinful as throwing away

  Am             Em   B7        Em
Stained glasses shine on my red wine
        Am          Em                B7       Em
And the sweat of my brow drips to my shaking knees
  Am          Em      B7     Em
A small sacrifice to benefit one man's
  Am      Em        B7       Em
journey away from America's seas

Am    Em    B7      Em
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
