_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ There [C] was a little church _ [A] _ _
[C] _ [D] sitting _ down in the woods. _
_ [C] _ And in that little church [A] they had a [C] choir director [F] and they could sing [Dm] real well.
_ And [C] there was no [A] deacon there.
[C] _ [F] Hadn't been going to that church for a mighty long [Dm] time.
_ [G] And [C] every Sunday morning [A] _ he [F] would always beg that choir director, [Dm] he said, listen,
[G] would you [C] let me sing a song?
[A] _ _ [C] He said, I got a song [F] that I want to sing.
[D] _ _ [F] But you know what that choir director told him?
[Am]
He said, old man, [B] [C] you too old to sing [Dm] in this choir.
_ _ [C] He said, you got a trembling in your _ [Am]
voice.
_ _ [C] _ And the old man spit, [D]
and y'all might not believe it, but when you get old, [A] _ _
[C] folks do
you like that?
When you [Dm] get old, _ [G] people will just push you on aside.
_ [A] _ _ [C]
But they went to church the next Sunday morning [D] and _ [C] they knew that the old man wasn't sitting
in the corner.
[G] _ _ [C] And they went on back to church that next Sunday morning [Dm] and they knew [C] that the old
man still wasn't sitting in the corner.
They [G] getting worried now.
[C] And they went on back [F] that next _ [Dm] Sunday morning [G] and they knew [C] that the old man still wasn't
sitting in the [Am] corner.
_ [D] _ Somebody began to ask questions of them.
_ _ _ [C] Has anybody seen the old man?
[G] _ [C] Look at here.
Has anybody heard from the old [D] man?
_ Finally, [C] a voice just came [A] down from heaven.
_ I believe I'm going to let daddy tell [D] you what the voice said.
_ [C] I found _ in [G] a choir [Em] _ that would let [Dm] me sing.
You know what I'll be [C] doing.
_ _ _ [A]
Hallelujah.
_ [C] Hallelujah.
_ _ [D] _
You know what?
_ [C] By the time they recognized the voice and [Am] voice, _ [C] and [F] everybody began to look [C] up to what
the voice of heaven was.
[D] _
_ And the old [C] man's voice began to talk to them. _
He said, Sherry, one thing about this choir that I sing [D] with now. _
He said, [C] we don't have to wait until Sunday [A] morning to sing.
[C] But [D] every _ _ _ [G] morning, middle of the evening, we [A] get together _ [C]
and we sing songs that you
never heard in your [Dm] life. _
And [C] if y'all don't mind.
_ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ If y'all don't [D] mind. _ _ _
[C] If y'all don't [Am] mind.
