When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder

by The Statler Brothers

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".

Guitar Chords

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

[Verse 1]

G C G
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
G A7 D
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
G G7 C G
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
A7 G
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

[Chorus 1]

G
When the roll, is called up yonder,
D7
When the roll, is called up yonder,
G G7 C
When the roll, is called up yonder,
G D7 G
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

[Chorus 2]
(same chords as in the first one)

Let us labour for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
