[Verse 1]
F C Bb C F
It hardly seems a long time, just a minute of the day
Am Dm G C C
but the man who stood beside me more than gave himself away;
F C Bb C F
the food stain on his spotted shirt, the gray beard on his face,
F Bb F C F F
a man composed of many names, so I just called him Ace.
[Chorus]
Bb F C F
But Ace can't read and Ace can't write and he sleeps on a bench at night,
Bb C F F
a little man the world has left behind.
Bb F C F
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet, makes his living on the street.
Bb C F F F F
never knowing what he's gonna find.
[Verse 2]
F C Bb C F
Born in Mississippi, picking cotton as a child,
Am Dm G C C
he left soon for the city where he heard that life was wild.
F C Bb C F
But that was 50 years ago and nothing 's really strange
F Bb F C F F
from a poor dirt farm to dirty streets is really not much change.
[Chorus]
Bb F C F
But Ace can't read and Ace can't write and he sleeps on a bench at night,
Bb C F F
a little man the world has left behind.
Bb F C F
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet, makes his living on the street.
Bb C F F
never knowing what he's gonna find.

[Verse 3]
F C Bb C F
Go back to the country, now he really can't do that,
Am Dm G C C
wasted years have left him nothing but an old straw hat.
F C Bb C F
So he puts it on his head and waves a last goodbye,
F Bb F C F F
no time left to turn around and no time to ask why.
[End-Chorus]
Bb F C F
But Ace can't read and Ace can't write and he sleeps on a bench at night,
Bb C F F
a little man the world has left behind.
Bb F C F
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet, makes his living on the street,
Bb C F F
never knowing what he's gonna find
Bb C
and this old world has left poor Ace be - [Outro] hind.
