Chords for Cathedrals - An Old Convention Song 1987

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ We [Bb] used to come from miles around, have dinner on the ground, underneath [Eb] those old shade [Dm] trees,
[Bb] and sing the old songs [Gm] in shade notes, [C] in four-part _ [F] harmony.
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] Like you set me free, and you'd find me in [D] anywhere [Gm] it's called.
[Bb] Now _ _ [Gm] I'm fascinated, since you [C] heard an old [F] convention [Bb] song.
I'd still love to hear [Eb] those old convention [Bb] _ songs.
But I heard, as [Gm] a child, [C] as we sang them all [Dm] day long,
[Bb] the guy who walked just a little talk [D] all the day [Gm] _ long.
[Bb] How long [Gm] has it been since you heard an [E] old convention [Bb] _
song? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ Have a lot to say, they lift [Eb] you up when you're [Bb] feeling down.
_ [F] Some [Gm] have a country flavor, _ [C] some have a [F] modern sound.
They all serve and [Bb] eat up planning seats, so I know they [Gm] can't go wrong.
[Bb] But there's none so dear, [Gm] that when [Gb] I hear [C] an [F] old convention [Bb] _ [Gb] song,
I'd [B] still _ love to hear [E] those old [B] convention _ songs.
But I _ [Abm] heard, as a child, [Db] as we sang them [Gb] all day [B] long,
the guy who walked just a little talk [Eb] all the [Abm] day long.
_ _ [B] _ _
How long has it [Abm] been since you heard an [Gb] old convention [B] _ [G] song?
[C] How long has it been since you heard [G] a true love [D] song?
[C] _ _ [Am] Since you heard, _
[D] you were [G] well-spoken.
_ [Am] _
_ _ Since you heard, _ [E] I'm_
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
How long has it been since you [D] heard an old [G] convention [C] _
_ song?
How _ _ [Am] long has it been since you heard [D] an old [G] convention _ _
[C] song?
