"Just Crying" (1969) Rev. Julius Cheeks chords
Jam Along & Learn...
I saw them crying [Ab] in the chapel.
They had their heads [Eb] down, sitting there just crying.
[Ab] Showing up just to cry.
[Eb] One day as I was walking down the street, on Sunday morning I always go [Ab] to church somewhere
and I happened to notice a church full of people.
I didn't know what was going on so I walked in.
[Eb] In the front of the pulpit was a little short casket.
In the casket was a little girl.
[Ab] I heard the minister when he got up and said, he told the bereaved family,
[Eb] this child wasn't yours by a hundred thousand miles.
But the Lord, he knew you needed [Ab] some sunshine in your life and he lent it to you for a while.
And then he said ashes to ashes and [Eb] dust to dust.
The Lord has seen fit that this child can't go home with us.
And when we were getting a view of the [Ab] body, I got up and walked around.
And I looked down at that little girl's face.
You know [Eb] what?
I didn't know what was going on.
I found myself just crying.
[Ab] I didn't even know the child.
[Bb] [Eb] As I looked down in that little girl's face, I just [Ab] kept on crying.
Lord, to heal her.
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb] Then they closed the casket and carried it out back.
[Ab] When they began to let the little girl down, I followed the crowd to the grave.
[Eb] When they began to let her down, everybody standing around.
[Ab] I said I wasn't going to cry no more, but I was looking at her little sister and brothers,
standing there with tears in their [Eb] eyes.
I found myself
[Ab] crying.
I didn't know the family.
[Eb] It was a sad day [Eb] for me.
[Ab] Tears all in my eyes.
[Eb]
