1975 I was coming back from a trip to see some of my wife's folks.
They were just sinner people and alcoholics and smoking cigarettes and that's the way they lived.
No reflection on my wife because she's one of the greatest women that ever breathed life.
But anyway I got to thinking about how good God had been to me and that's what started this song off.
So [Ab] the other day they sang this song at Ray Charles [Abm] funeral.
I understand I wasn't there but I heard about it so let me just sing it for you tonight.
[Fm]
[Bb] [Eb]
Oh I've had [F] bad [Fm]
[Bb] days and I've had [Ab] hills [Eb] to climb.
Then I've had [Fm] sad days [Bb] and then a [Ab] weary [Eb]
mind.
Yet when [Ab] I look about
[Bb] and I think [Ab] these things [Eb] are love.
[C] All of [F] the good [Fm] things [Bb] outweigh the bad things I can't [Eb] complain.
God is [Ab] so good to me.
[Bb] He is [Ab] so good [Eb]
to [C] me.
More [Fm] than this world and me.
[Bb] He's so good [Eb] to me.
[F] His spirit [Ab] came to me [Bb] and gave [Ab] me victory.
[C] God [Fm] is so good to me.
[Bb] I [Eb] can't complain.
I've had a lot of testimonies of people who [Fm] sang this song from God.
I was in [Bb] Canada.
[Ebm] This fella brought [Ab] his little 12 year old [Ebm] boy up.
He had a little [Eb] arm amputated.
He said [Fm]
my little boy had to [Bbm] have his arm amputated and he said I want him [Eb] to meet you because while they were doing this something went wrong.
[Ab] The doctor came in the waiting room and said you [Bb] folks if you know how to pray you better pray [Eb] because your little boy looks bad.
[C] He said I never [Fm]
heard her sing before but the [Bb] doctor left and he said we [Eb] went down to the prayer room.
She went first and said she was down there on her knees and her hand [Ab] raised and singing God is so good to me.
[Bb]
[Ab] About that time he said the [Eb] doctor literally burst [C] into that room and said folks something [Fm] has happened and said your little [Bb] boy is going to be alright.
[Eb] [Bb] Then I had a [Eb] lady call [F] me one night and she said I don't know [Ab] why they did this to me but I was home by [Bb] myself.
They called me and told me that [Ab] my son had got killed in a car [Eb] wreck.
[C] She said Brother [Cm] Johnson I didn't know what to [Fm] do.
She said I just sat down in a rocking [Bb] chair and I started saying God is so good to [Eb] me.
I can't complain.
God is good.
[Ab] Sometimes the clouds [Fm] hang low.
[Bb] I'd [Ab] like to see [Eb] them go.
Then I ask [F] the question Lord [Fm] why [Bb] [Eb] so much pain?
But he knows what's [Ab] best for me.
[Bb] Oh no [Ab] I [Eb] cannot sleep.
[C] I [Fm] just say thank you Lord.
[Bb] I [Eb] can't complain.
God is [Ab] so good to me.
[Bb] He [Ab] is so good to me.
[C] More than this [Fm] whole world could ever be.
[Bb] He is so good to [Eb] me.
His spirit [Ab] came to me.
[Bb] And gave me [Ab] this Holy Ghost picture [Eb] for [C]
[Fm] me.
[Bb] I can't [Eb] complain.
My God [Fm] to me.
