[Intro]
Db | Bm - Gb | Db 2x
[Verse]
Db Db/F - Gb Db
There's an old country church, off county road 109
Gb Db Ab
forgotten by many, and weathered by time
Db Db/F - Gb Bbm
and Lord how them old Saints would pray heaven down.
Gb Db Ab Db
If stained glass could talk and church pews could shout.
[Instrumental]
Db | Bm - Gb |
[Verse]
Db Db/F - Gb Db
He was hell bent and bitter, colder than stone
Gb Db Ab
when he finally hit bottom, and walked it alone
Db Db/F - Gb Bbm
but that's where Jesus met him, the biggest sinner in town
Gb Db Ab Db
If stained glass could talk and church pews could shout.
[Chorus]
Ab Gb Db
but that old-time religion may not be your thing
Gb Db Ab
but love it or hate it, the truth still remains
Db Bm Gb Db
a lost man went in - but a saved man came out
Gb Db Ab Db
and that's what they tell you if Church pews could shout
[Instrumental]
Db | Bm - Gb |
[Verse]
Db Db/F - Gb Db
He was there every Sunday, the first to arrive
Gb Db Ab
praying and singing, with tears in his eyes
Db Gb Bbm
cause he never got over - being glory bound
Gb Db Ab Db
if stained glass could talk and church pews could shout.
[Chorus]
Ab Gb Db
That old-time religion may not be your thing
Gb Db Ab
but love it or hate it, the truth still remains
Db Bm Gb Db
a lost man went in - but a saved man came out
Gb Db Ab Db
and that's what they tell you if Church pews could shout
[Instrumental]
Db | Bm - Gb |
[Verse]
Db Db/F - Gb Db
There's an old country church, off county road 109
Gb Db Db Ab
and he's gonna visit, - just-one-last time
Db Gb Bbm
I'm sure we'd hear Hallelujah, as we lay him down ...
Gb Db Ab Bbm
if stained glass could talk and church pews could shout
Gb Db Ab Db
if stained glass could talk and church pews could shout
[Instrumental]
Db | Bm - Gb |
[Outro]
Db Gb Db
Precious memories how they linger
