Chords for Bill Baize + the former members of the Stamps Quartet Dordrecht 9 nov 2008 "It's Elvis Time"

_ _ Ed Hill mentioned this song a while ago, and I'm going to sing a song for you that I used
to sing for Elvis almost every night.
It seemed like that after [E] Elvis would be doing two shows, especially in Las Vegas, we did
two shows a night [G] at the Las Vegas Hilton.
_ [Ab] After, wherever he was, after we [C] finished his two shows, at two o'clock in the morning,
that's when the afternoon came, we would go up to his suite of rooms [G] and we would sing
gospel music for him until [Db] sun.
[Eb] He was a nocturnal person.
He [G] always wanted to go to bed.
Yeah, I wanted to go to bed way before I ever went up [N] there.
I wanted to go to sleep.
He wanted us to sing.
So we sang song after song after song every night.
This is one of the songs that he requested almost every night.
And he liked it so much that when he passed away, [Ab] Mr.
Vernon called JD and told JD to
have Bill H come sing a song at the funeral.
[N] So I was privileged to sing a song at Elvis' funeral.
I'm going to sing it for you tonight because I thought it was going to back me up some on it.
And [E] it's a song [Gm] written by a young man that lives in Nashville now, a great [N] songwriter
named Bill Johnson.
And it talks about the time that we have to talk to the Lord, when it's my time to tear his trials.
It's my time to call.

_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] It's my time [Am] for tears [Gm] and for trouble.
[C] _ _
[F] [Gm] When it's my [C] time to carry [Fm] the heavy load. _
[D] _ [F] Oh, heart, the [G] light [Bb] starts to tremble.
[Eb] When [A] _
[Am] it's my time [C] to call.
[G] My _ _ [F] _ _
_ time [Am] to be proper [Gm] and ponder the kindly.
_ [C] _ _
[Gm] When it's my _ [C] _ _
_ [F] time to criticize the life.
_ _ _ [A] It's my time [Bb] to be.
_ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bbm] [F] It's my time to [C] call on [Cm] the [Bb] Lord.
[F] _ _
[Bb] Oh, and _ _ _
_ [Am] he just brings me _ [Bb] prayer.
_ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ So it's _ [Bb] _ _ _ [G] _ [Eb] _
_ [F] my time [C] to call on [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ the world.
[A] It's my _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] time to be.

_ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _
_ What did [Ebm] I [Abm] give [Gb] _

[Db] _
You [Ab] or the [Bbm] life [Ab] that you [Db]

_ try to [Db]
repay.
