[Verse]
D G D
Maggie came home one day with raggedy, Raggedy Ann

She said “Mama look what I found in the neighbor’s garbage can
A G D
It had a missing left arm, and a right button eye hanging by a thread
A G D
She carried it gently up to her room and laid it on her bed, with her other
dolls.
[Chorus]
A D A
She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patichin’ up.
A G C A
She sees the diamond in the rough, and makes them shine like new.
A D A
It really doesn’t take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch,
A C G/B D
If everybody loved like she does, there’d be a lot less broken ones.

Twenty years later at a shelter on Eighteenth Avenue,

A seventeen year old girl shows up all black and blue,
A G D
With needle tracks in her left arm, almost too weak to stand,
A G
She says, “I’m lost and I need help,” as Maggie takes her hand,
D
and says “Come on in!”
[Chorus]
A D A
She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patichin’ up.
A G C A
She sees the diamond in the rough, and makes them shine like new.
A D A
It really doesn’t take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch,
A C G/B D
If everybody loved like she does, there’d be a lot less broken ones.
[Bridge]
A G D
If you called her an angel, she’ll be quick to say it to you,
A A7 G A
She’s just doing what the One who died for her would do,
[Chorus]
A D A
She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patichin’ up.
A G C A
Look for diamonds in the rough, and makes them shine like new.

It really doesn’t take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch,

If everybody loved like He does, there’d be a lot less broken ones.
A C G/B D
If everybody loved like she does, there’d be a lot less broken ones.
