Chords for Bill & Gloria Gaither - Tabernacle (Live)

_ _ [E] Down by the Tavern and below
Where the June loves dance and the Limberman [B] go
And we pray and we sing till the suns ain't low
Laughing with the [E] sisters and brothers
Down by the Tavern
We knew you would love me more than Tuesday
[B] But the summer here was like a holiday
We always [E] enjoyed each other
[B] Well we went to the river where the sun was [E] baptized
We clapped our hands and testified
[B] We passed around the chicken and the buttermilk [A] pie
Nothing ever [E] tasted better
[B] And the kids played ball and the babies just played
[E] While the old man napped out under the shade
And [B] the women picked flowers and sipped [A] lemonade
And sat around [B] talking _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] And we pray and we sing till the suns ain't low
Laughing [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
with the sisters [B] and brothers
The summer here was like a holiday
We always enjoyed [E] each other _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] Well I look back now and I wish that I could
[E] Go back to the time when life was [B] easy
Would everybody live the way that they [A] should
At least that's [E] the way I recall
[B] We loved our God with all of our [E] might
And everyone knew the wrong from the right
[B] And we worked all day and we slept all night
[A] And we were proud and [B] still
