Dust Upon the Altar Chords by Squire Parsons

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
Do you believe?
_ _ [Bb] _ _
Won't [F] you come and _ see?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] The other night my heart was [Bb] burdened heavy
For all the lonely [F] souls lost out in [C] sin
_ [F] I fell down on my knees and I asked the question
Lord, [C] why can't we bring the wonders in?
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] Then I dreamed that I placed my hand
[Bb] Upon an old-fashioned altar rail
I wept [F] and there I cried
Oh Lord, please tell me where we failed
Then [Bb] the question was answered
So that I could understand
[C] For you [F] see, the dust from off that old altar [C] rail
Was there upon my hand
Too many [F] _ _
_ [Bb] years
_ Won't [F] bow down
_ _ _ Too many _ idols
[C] _ _ Cannot [F] be [Bb] found
[F] And _ yet [Bb] we wonder why
So many of [F] our [C] children
Go [F] astray
_ [Bb] When they've never seen
A [C] teardrop [F] fall
Or heard their [C] mother pray
And _ _ [F] we wonder why
[Bb] So many _ [F] brothers falter
_ [Bb] _
My friend, [F] there's too much dust
[C]
Upon [Bb] the altar
_ _ [F] _
[C] My friend, [F] there's too much [C] dust _
Upon [Bb] the altar
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
