[C] And that's all
I'll tell [G] you that's [C] all
[G] But you better [D] have Jesus now
I'll tell [G] you that's all
[C] Well the denominations have [G] the right to fight
They ought to go on and treat each other right
[Am] And that's [C] all
I'll tell you that's all

And [C] that's all
I'll tell [G] you that's all
But you better [D] have Jesus now
I'll tell you [G] that's all

I'll [G] tell you that's all
