Try A Little Kindness - Glen Campbell - chords lyrics

I was at a Country Music Club the other weekend and someone played this song in the key of D.
Then I remembered that many years ago I used to play this song myself, so decided I'd post it here on my SongBook. There's some good words of wisdom in this song, so well worth applying the effort...
And on that note, the chords have been typed in the right place, but when I publish the post, they don't quite fit in the exact space for some reason - but close enough. Just use your ear to guide you

Try A Little Kindness - Glen Campbell


D                                G                    D
If you see your brother standing by the road
                    A     G                            D
With a heavy load - from the seeds he's sowed
                                      G                D
And if you see your sister fallen by the way
                    A    G                                   D
Just stop and say - "You're going the wrong way"
                    A
You've got to try a little kindness
G                D
Show a little kindness
         G                          D               A
(Just) shine your light for everyone to see
                G
And if you try a little kindness
                 D                Bm
Then you'll overlook the blindness
          G                    A
Of the narrow minded people
            G         A          D
On their narrow minded streets
D              G                            D
Don't walk around the down and out
                      A     G               D
Lend a helping hand - instead of doubt
                                      G               D
And the kindness that you show every day
                      A   G              D
Will help someone - along the way
                    A
You've got to try a little kindness
G                D
Show a little kindness
         G                          D               A
(Just) shine your light for everyone to see
                G
And if you try a little kindness
                 D                Bm
Then you'll overlook the blindness
          G                    A
Of the narrow minded people
            G         A          D
On their narrow minded streets
