Chords for Testimony By Lauren Talley

_ and began posting on the site under the screen name Tammy. _ _
And Tammy shared a few weeks ago
that she had been married five women. _ _ _ _ _
And she said that _ _ that was so traumatic for her _ _
_ that she decided that she couldn't deal _ _ with that pain anymore. _
_ _ She had chosen to leave. _ _
_ _ _ She wrote on the site, she said,
My nine-year-old daughter [N] loves your music.
She listens to you all the time on the internet. _
She said, We've [A] found the broken ones and all the fun-having ones. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She said, You all are actually going to be in our area very soon.
And my daughter has been begging me for weeks to take her to that concert. _ _ _
_ _ She said, When I decided to end my life,
_ _ _ she said, Right before I was going to leave,
_ she said, _ _ _ _ _ I'm leaving my husband alone.
_ She said, You should stay in the time of your concert
_ _ so that he will be sure to take her. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ She said, While I was writing that note,
_ something _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ prompted me _ to turn on that music one more time.
_ _ _ _ _ She said, I listened to you. _ _ _ _
_ You did that. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I got down on my knees [F#m] and I gave _ all of the hurt and pain to [F#] God.
_ [D#m] And I decided that no matter how broken I am,
I'm going to be with my daughter [B] at that concert.
_ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, a few weeks later in Heidendell, [B] Kentucky,
their entire family showed [F#] up.
They took up a whole row.
_ _ _ _ And she, _ [D#m] as I came in the building that [D#] night to go to the product [F#] table,
I noticed this lady kind of standing off to one side next to a wall.
She looked very shy.
_ _ [C#] _ _ [B] And I looked at her and I said,
_ [F#] Where's Tammy?
She said, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
This [F#] is the first time my family has ever been to anything like this. _
_ _ _ _ And the concert that night, they [B] did that. _ _ _
[F#] _ About a week later, she posted on her site.
_ She said, My husband [B] has never shown any interest in church, _
gospel music, [F#] Christianity.
He's wanted absolutely nothing to do with God.
She said, Our entire family has now begun [B] to go to church every time.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
We saw them _ _ just last week _ [D#m] in _ _ _
_ [C#] Somerset.
_ _ _ [F#] _
He was now in Kentucky.
[G] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ They [D] brought their [G] pastor and [C] his wife, several [G] members from their church,
to the concert that night.
[C] And _ [G] her husband drew a _ [C] portrait of one [G] of our album covers.
_ And he [C] painted it.
It's a [G] beautiful picture.
_ [D] _ _
[G] And he brought it [C] to us that night at the [D] concert.
He said, You will never [G] know what this has meant,
what your [C] music has meant to our [G] family.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ And I just, _ [C] _
I was just [D] overwhelmed.
[G] I've just been fascinated with family ever since we got married.
_ I've just been overwhelmed.
[D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the message that he did, it [C] changed somebody's life.
And [G] as she was leaving the concert [D] in Somerset that night,
[G] Tammy grabbed [C] me and hugged me.
She said, Thank you for saving my life and changing my family.
[C] I said, Honey, I didn't do that.
[G] I _ [D] said, That was [G] not me.
_ [C] She said, Oh, [G] I know. _
I said, That was the Lord.
I said, [C] And the Lord [G] takes these [D] things like songs.
And He [G] _ _ [C] uses them to change your [D] life.
I'm just [G] so thrilled that.
_ The [G#] things that he turned out to be great.
_ _ You have a part _ in those songs. _
[A#] Because you [C#] post songs on YouTube.
And you _ [G#] _ email us your comments.
And talk to each other [F] on the side. _ _ _
[G#] And I just want you to know that even though we are the ones who sing the songs, _ _ _
that [F] we don't do the songs.
[G#] We have you all with us.
You're even picking out our album covers.
And _ telling us what songs you want to hear.
And we love that.
Sometimes we don't agree [G#] with you.
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F#]
But when you do [G#] things like that, when you participate.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [A#] And we thank you all for being a part [A] of this ministry.
Because that's truly what it [D] is. _ _ _
