Jeremiah Chords by The Canton Spirituals

[F] The thing was that [Cm] they had, you could go to sleep at night [C] and then [Cm] have to lock your door.
[C] _
Yes, you could.
You could go to the supermarket and then have to [A] worry about nobody [C] snagging your purse. _
_ But look at us [Cm] now today.
Oh Lord, yeah.
[F] Look at our Holy Ghost folks.
_ [C] I don't know what y'all come here to do.
_ You know how a lot of our Christian folks [Ebm] the other [C] day
we done got so sophisticated and dignified that sometime we can [B] speak to you.
[Cm] [C] You know how sometime you speak to somebody and they going off and _ act _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] like it hurt them to speak to you.
But I wonder if anybody here come to lift up Jesus name.
[C] _
Good God Almighty, we got an epidemic _
spreading across our country right now that they call AIDS.
_ And did you not know that a lot of people have came out of the closet _ and admitted that they have tested
positive for the AIDS virus.
_ Is that alright?
You know it's good to testify.
You ought to try it sometime.
[Cm] _ [C] You see when testimonies go on, _ somebody have to come [F] out the closet.
[Cm] Can I get a [C] remit?
_ I wish I had a church here tonight.
_ Oh I ain't [Bb] got no church here.
[C] _
Let me tell you something, _ something about when people testify.
Do you remember the AIDS victims start coming out of the [Cm] closet?
[C] I want to ask you something. _
I want to ask you something now.
If this question fit the way you feel, _ I want you to give God a praise.
Can I get somebody to stand up _ and raise their hand _ and testify _ and say,
_ _ _ I test positive _ for being saved, _ _ _ sanctified, _ filled with the Holy Ghost, _ [Gm] [C] wrapped up _ [Gm] _ _
in the love [C] of Jesus. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Look at that sister [F] jumping over [C] there. _
Look at that sister jumping over there.
That's what I'm talking about.
Y [F]'all ain't got [Cm] to hold up.
_ Hold some of these cute folks in [C] there.
Let that lady praise [Cm] the Lord.
[Eb] Good God Almighty.
[C] _ Somebody said, Daddy, that Chris Claus will make you jump.
But look at that lady jumping over there.
_ Let me tell [Bb] y'all [C] something.
I don't have nothing [Eb] against Chris [C] Claus, but they can't make me jump.
They ain't old enough.
[F] They ain't suffered [C] enough.
They ain't been through enough.
But when [F] I thank you for the goodness [C] of Jesus Christ. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Lord, good [Cm] God Almighty.
I want to do a hymn.
I believe y'all about ready now.
I believe y'all about ready to go with me now.
I believe y'all about ready to go with me now.
Put your hands together while I say, I said,

[Eb] I'm talking [Bb] about a whole day.

[C] A one third of the evening.
A [Eb] one third of the evening.
[Bb] I don't know [C] your day.

[Bb] But [C] one third of the evening.
Something got a hold of me.
Something got a hold of me.
_ [Gb] [C] Said I wasn't going to tell you.
[Am] Said I wasn't going to tell [C] you.
Couldn't keep [Gb] it to myself.

[F] _ Lord got [Cm] a hold of me.
[C] It was under nine o'clock.
I ain't been with the Holy Ghost.
Anybody [F] got the [Cm] Holy Ghost?
Anybody got the Holy Ghost?
[A] I was on the channel.
I didn't want to witness.
I was on the channel.
I didn't want to go over there.
[Gb] I'm talking about the Holy [C] Ghost.
[Cm] I'm talking about the Holy Ghost.
[Eb] I'm talking [Cm] about the Holy Ghost.
We are just going to lose it.
[C] Have you been born again?
[F] _ _ [A] _ _ _
Let _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] me see your way. _ _ _ _ _
Well you got the [Cm] Holy Ghost.

I'm a second of you over here.
I've [F] been good to you.
[C] And I [Gm] haven't been good to you.
And [A] I haven't been good to you.
Son [Gb] of a_
[F] It's the spirit.
[A]
It's the Holy Ghost spirit.
And [F] what comes from the heart reaches the heart.
And when you love one another,
that's what it's all about.
It's easy, you know, for you_
See, I know Harvey, and Harvey knows me.
See, I know his life, and he knows my life.
And it's easy for me to stand on the stage
and get happy when he's singing.
Because I know who's singing.
Anytime the Holy Spirit comes,
it makes me feel good.
Because I pray for power.
I don't pray for fame.
_ I don't pray for excitement.
_ I pray for power.
And I know the Holy Spirit is power.
_ _ It might not win a talent show,
but it'll win souls to Christ.
[Cm] Thank you!
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Ain't it something?
_ [Cm] Yeah.
_ _ About the Holy Ghost.
[Bb] _ [Cm] _ You can say that, Ike, if you want to.
Yeah.
But ain't [F] it something
[C] _ _ about the Holy Ghost?
Have you ever been sweeping through the house
and just humming [Bb] a little [C] song,
and before you knew it,
something [Gm] just got in your arm [C] and_
Raaah!
_ _ Raaah!
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
