Hold My Mule (Ult Version) Chords

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I just want to take time _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ to tell you [Eb] _
_ _ _ a story _ _ about _ a man called Shau John. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ John joined _ _ a dead church _ _ that _ _ he believed in [Ebm] shouting, _ _ _ _ that [Eb] he believed in dancing and
speaking in [Ab] tongues. _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ But when they opened the doors of the church, _ John [Ab] joined that church. _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And when John joined that church, _ _ _ he came in dancing [Ab] _
because [Eb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ John was dancing all around the church. _ _ _ _
The deacons ran, sat him down, he jumped back up. _
_ _ [Abm] _ [Ebm] They tried to hold his legs, his hands were going. _ _ _ _
When they turned their hands loose, [Ab] their feet were [Eb] going.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Shut up on the phone.
_ _ _ [D] _
[Ab] Yeah.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ They did [Ebm] everything they could to stop [Ab] old John from shouting.
[Eb] _ _ _ And when they couldn't finally stop him, [Ab] _ _ _
they made up in their mind, we've got [Ebm] to go out
to John's house, y'all.
_ _ _ But something is wrong with him.
_ _ Doesn't he know?
_ _ _ _ We don't act like that [Bbm] in our [Ab] church.
_ [Eb] _ Doesn't John know?
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ We've got _ dignitaries in our church.
_ We're going.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [Eb] We're going to John's house.
[Ebm] _ _ Well, _ _ _ when they got out there, _ _ _ they [Eb] found this old 86 year old man, _ _ _ him and an old beat
[Ab] up mule _ [Ebm] _ _ _ plowing, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ plowing _ [Ebm] _ in [Ab] _ _ the field.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] They drove [Ab] all of the deacons.
_ [Ebm] _ _
They got out of their fine cars.
_ _ They walked over to John.
_ _ John looked around and said, oh, mule. _ _ _
Walked over to him and said, brethren, _ I know why you've come out here.
_ You've come out here to tell me _ _ that I praise the Lord too much.
_ [Eb] You've come out here to tell [Ab] me _ that [Ebm] I dance too much. _
One of the deacons [Ab] told him, [Eb] if you don't stop shouting, _ if you don't stop [Ab] dancing,
[Eb] _ _ we'll put you [Ab] out of our [Ebm] church.
[Ab] _ _ _ Somebody say yeah.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [B] _
Say yeah.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
Well, let's hear [Ab] it for our young _ _ _ _ _ brethren.
[D] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ John said to them, _ _ _ _ _ well, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ I can't hold my peace.
_ _ [Eb] Did you see all of that land you just drove [Ab] up on?
[Eb]
He said, God gave me all [Ab] that. _
[Eb] _ But you don't want me to dance [Ebm] in your church.
_ He said, [Eb] look at my sons [Ab] and daughters.
He said, God gave [Ebm] me all of my children.
_ _ Not one [Ab] time [Eb] have I been to the [Ebm] courthouse.
_ Not one [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ time have I been to the cemetery.
But you don't want me to dance [Ab] in your church.
[Eb] _ Then he said, [Ab] look at me.
[Ebm] _
_ I'm 86 years old. _
[E] I'm still able [Eb] _ to walk down [Ab] that old mule.
[Eb] _ I'm still able _ _ to harvest my own crop.
But you don't want me to [Ebm] dance in your church. _
Listen, brother deacons, if I can't shout in [Ab] your [Eb] church, _ hold my mule. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ Hold my mule. _ _
Hold my mule.
_ Hold my mule.
_ [Eb] _ That's the way I feel [Ab] right now.
[Eb] _ I feel like old [Ab] Sheldon John.
_ [Ebm] _
I know we got some dignified folk in here. _
But I come to tell you, _ [Eb] _ I feel [B] _ [Ab] like a blazing, blazing hit.

Well, John, _ _ just [Eb] dance all [Db] over that place.
_ [Ab] Begin to walk about [Cm] Zion.
_ _ _ _ That's kind of how I feel right now.
_ _ _ [Eb] Walk about Zion.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ It's not a shame to walk about Zion with me.

[Db] _ _ [D] [Eb] If [Ab] you don't want to praise him, don't hinder [G] me.
