Lyle Lovett & His Large Band - Church Chords

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ I _ went to church last Sunday, so I could sing and pray for something quite unusual that
happened on that day.
The church, it started right on time, just like it does [C] without a [G] doubt.
And everything is all just fine, except when it came time to let us out before the preacher,
he kept preaching.
He told us, [C] I have [G] one more thing to say, children, before you think of leaving.
[Am] You [Bm] better [Cm] think about [D] the judgment [Am] day.
[G] Now [Am] everyone [G] got nervous.
[C] _
[G] Everyone [C] was hungry to learn.
[G] And everyone was wondering [C] what was the next [G] thing he would [G] do.
The preacher, he kept preaching.
He said, [C] now I'll [G] remind you if I may, you all better pay attention to how [C] I might [Dbm] decide
to [G] preach over there.
Now everyone was getting so [G] hungry that the old ones started feeling ill.
And the new ones started [Am] passing [G] out.
[C] The young ones, they could not sit [G] still.
The preacher's voice [C] rose.
[G] I [C] snuck [G] up to the balcony and I crept into the choir.
And I begged him, brothers, sisters, help me please.
I said, when I give you the [Am] signal, [G]
when I raise up my hands, won't you please join me together?
Praise the Lord, I have a plan.
The preacher kept [C] preaching.
[G] Long is the struggle, hard the fight, my praise, Father, please forgive [G] me.
And I stood up and with all my might I said, I do, Lord, praise His [G] name.
It's time for [D] dinner now, [G] let's go.
Let's go, God's secret, secret, [Bbm] God's way.
And I [C] listened [Am] to what [G] the preacher said, I do, Lord, praise His name.
It's time for dinner now, [G] let's go.
And I did give the signal.
[D] And I [G] raised up my hands.
Join with me the choir.
For every woman, child, and man, I sang to the Lord, let [C] praise His [G] name.
It's time for dinner now, let's go.
We've got some beans, some [Gm] good cornbread.
I [C] listened [Bb] to what the [G] preacher said, I do, Lord, praise [Bb] His name.
[G] It's time for dinner now, let's go.
The preacher, he stopped preaching.
And hush, the church did [Gm] fill.
[G] A great white dove up above landed [C] on the [G] window sill.
[F] [G] And the dove looked down beside [G] him.
A fork appeared right in his hand.
Everybody watching, the preacher ate that bird right then.
Well, everyone got really nervous.
The preacher, he did start [C] to glow.
And [G] as we watched on in disbelief, these were [Dm] the words [Bbm] he spoke.
[Gm] I said, remember, [B] I said, I can't tell you.
[Dm] But she's been there [G] all day.
Now she's a cook and something good.
[Am] So, boy, you [Gm] better pray.
And [G] I sang to the Lord, let praise His name.
It's [A] time for dinner [G] now, let's go.
We've got some beans, some good cornbread.
I [C] listened to [E] what the preacher said, I [G] do, Lord, praise [Am] His name.
[G] It's time [D] for dinner [G] now, let's go.
And the moral of this story, children, it is plain [C] but true.
God [G] knows if a preacher preaches long enough, even [C] he'll get [Gm] hungry too.
I said, remember, I [G] said, I can't tell you.
But she's been there all day.
So, boy, you better pray.
And I sang to the Lord, let praise His name.
It's time for dinner now, let's go.
We've got some beans, some good cornbread.
I [C] listened [G] to what the preacher said, I do, Lord, praise His name.

I [C] listened to [G] what the preacher said.

[G] We've got [Am] some beans, [G] some good [Gm]
cornbread.
