Biography:
The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none have the surname of "Statler".

[Intro]
G
[Chorus]
G C G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage
A7 D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand
C G
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey
A7 D7 G
And lead them to the promised land
[Verse 1]
G
God's children were slaves in Egypt land
C
So God took Moses by the hand
G D7
He said Moses tell old Pharaoh to set 'em free
G
But Moses wanted a way to get out
C
Because in his mind he's beginning to doubt
G D7 G
And he said Lord old Pharaoh he ain't a gonna listen to me
[Verse 2]
G
Well the Lord said son throw down that rod
C
Old Moses did and he cried to God
G D7
It turned to a snake as evil and wicked as sin
G
Then he cried again with an awful wail
C
And the Lord said seize him by the tail
G D7 G
Old Moses did and it turned to a rod again
[Chorus]
G C G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage
A7 D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand

He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey

[Verse 3]
G
The Lord said Moses I've got power
C
And I'll be with you every hour
G D7
Said go tell Pharaoh to set my children free
G
Well Moses did but the Lord helped out
C
He sent a plague to the land about
G D7 G
So old Pharaoh told him he could go and let him be
[Verse 4]
G
They started out with a cloud that day
C
And a fire by night to lead the way
G D7
But old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind
G
Well he gathered together his soldier band
C
Got all them chariots throughout the land
G D7 G
Said I'll let them Israelites go some other time
[Chorus]
G C G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage
A7 D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand
C G
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey
A7 D7 G
And lead them to the promised land
[Verse 5]
G
Well they came to the banks of the ocean blue
C
They turned to Moses said what would we do
G D7
And Moses fell on his knees and there in the sand
G
The Lord said Moses trust in God
C
All you gotta do is just raise that rod
G D7 G
Over these mighty waters stretch your hand
[Verse 6]
G
Well Moses followed the Lord's command
C
The waters parted and there in the sand
G D7
They saw a path that led to the other shore
G
The ground was dry they passed on through
C
And old Pharaoh's army thought they would too
G D7 G
But the waters fell they ain't never been seen no more
