Lyle Lovett and his Large Band - Church Chords

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ to the church.
well there went the church last summer,
so I could sing,
_ something quite unusual. _
_ _ The church,
it started right on time,
just like it does,
[C] without a [G] doubt.
Everything is all just fine,
so he keeps trying
to [C] let us out,
[G] he kept me going.
He told us, I have one more thing to say,
children before you think of [C] leaving,
[Gm] you better think [D] about the [G] judgment day.
everyone got [C] nervous,
[G]
everyone was [C] hungry,
[G] [A] everyone [G] was [Am] wondering
[Gm] what [C] he was [D] [G] doing,
he said now [B] I'll [C] remind you,
[G] if I may,
you all better pay [G] attention,
I might [E] decide to [G] preach your name,
oh I was getting so hungry,
[Gm] oh [G] I started feeling ill,
and the weak ones
started passing out,
young ones they could not sit [G] still,
and the preacher's voice
rose from the grave,
[D] I [G] snuck up to the balcony,
[C] and [G] I _ _ [Am] begged him,
[Dm] brother [G] suckers,
help me please,
I said when I give you a signal,
I said when I give you a signal,
when I [C] raise up [G] my hands,
won't you please join me together,
praise the lord I have [C] a [G] plan,
and a preaching,
a preaching,
long as the struggle,
hard to find,
father please forgive me,
and when I stood up,
and with all my might,
I sang [Gm] to the lord,
praise the [G] lord,
it's time for [E] dinner now, [G] let's go,
and [C] there's good [G]
cornbread,
now [C] listen to what the [G] preacher said,
now to the lord,
let praises be,
it's [E] time for dinner now,
[G] let's go,
and I did give the [C] signal,
[G] yes and [D] I [G] raised [C] up my [G] hands,
and I raised up my hands,
and joined with [C] me in the [G] choir,
a ever woman,
a [F] child and [G] man,
I sang [C] to the lord,
let praises [G] be,
it's time for dinner now,
let's go,
and there's good _ cornbread,
now listen to what the preacher said,
now to the lord,
let praises be,
it's time for dinner now,
let's go,
and he stopped preaching,
and I [D] hushed [G] the church,
[C] and [G] then a great white dove,
from up [C] above,
landed on [G] the windowsill,
and a dove flew down the side,
and a dove flew down the side,
a [C] fork appeared [G] right in his hand,
and with my every [C] vital,
[G] I could create that bird,
[C] right there and [G] then,
now everyone got really nervous,
and the future he did [C] start to glow,
and as we watched [G] on in disbelief,
and as we watched on in disbelief,
[D] he's aware of [G] the words he spoke,
he's aware of the words he spoke,
and he's [Am] standing on a [Gm] little hill,
[Gm]
[C] and he's been there all day,
[G] and I [Am] know [G] he's spoken something,
but the left eye of my [Gm] head is [G] gray,
he sang to the lord,
let [C] praises [G] be,
it's time for dinner now,
let's go,
we've got some good [C]
[G] cornbread,
[F] now listen [E] to what [G] the preacher said,
he said to the lord,
let [C] praises be,
[G] it's time [E] for dinner now,
[G] let's go,
and the moral of this story,
a [D] children in [C] his name,
the truth, [G] god knows,
if a preacher, preaches long enough,
even he'll get hungry too,
he said to the lord,
let praises be,
it's time for dinner now,
let's go,
we've got some good cornbread,
now listen to [C] what the preacher said,
[G] to [G] the lord,
let praises be,
it's time [E] for dinner [G] now, let's go,
we've got some good [B] cornbread,
[C] now listen [G] to what the preacher said,
he said to the [Gm] lord,
let praises be,
it's time for dinner now,
let's [G] go.
we've got some good [Gm]
cornbread,
[G] now listen [C] to what [G] the preacher said,
to the lord,
let praises be,
_ it's time for dinner now,
_ and the moral _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ of this story,
So that's the reason [C] it's all [G] worth [Am] it
[C] _ [Em] It's just you [G] Lord, let the praises be
It's time for dinner now, let's go
We got some beans and some good cornbread
And [Gm] listen to what the [C] preacher [G] said
It's just you Lord, let the praises be
It's [C] time for [E] dinner now, [G] let's go
We got some [C] beans and some [Gm] good cornbread
And [Gm] listen [C] to what the [G] preacher said
