Chords for Tent Revival Homecoming & Old Rugged Cross

[F] Call and just say, it's for a monkey dinner.
_ _ Say, it's for a monkey [C] dinner.
_ _ Hey, baby.
Mama sang [Db] dinner.
Me and little brother was [Ab] going around in bed.
For some time, we've been thinking about [Eb] doing a taping under a [Ab] tent.
Many of the older people [C] have grown up [Db] singing in some kind of a tent [E] meeting somewhere in the past.
It's [B] part of Americana.
And then we got a call from Franklin [E] saying he'd like for [Bm] us to do [E] something here at the library.
And so [B] why don't we combine the tent revival [E] idea,
because obviously it [A] ties into the first big [E] national revival that [Em] Billy Graham had.
And we could kill two [B] birds with one [Em] stone.
And the setting [Dbm] is [E] perfect.
_ _ When Franklin called my name, I [A] _ missed my D.B. [E] every hour.
Blessed [A] _ _ _ Savior, thou [E] art by us, till the earth _ [Gbm] is hapless, no [B] show.
_ The [E] tent revival, I think, has a certain aura [A] for people, period.
I [E] don't care what our church [G] backgrounds are.
_ [C] We all have wonderful memories of [F] going in the hot, sweaty summer someplace to camp meeting. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Our song shall _ ever _ [E] be, _ [B] _ oh, lovers, [E]
let's go down, let's [A] go down, come [E] on down.
[B] Are you glad to [E] have Cliff [Gb] Barrows and Bev Stanger with us today? _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ Hey, let's do a little duet together.
_ I'm [C] not as good a voice as you are.
Oh, yes, you are.
To _ [F] all the lonely _ and unto _ _ [C] the _ _ meek, _ _ _ _ Jesus _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ whispered _ _
[C] [G] peace.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Well, you know, I know [Bb] we're going to have a [G] big crowd,
[Cm] and [Bb] I don't know how [Eb] many it's seating in there, but [Ebm] they're in for a [Fm] treat.
And [Eb] everybody's singing great, and the _ songs that Bill Gates has picked for this event,
I think, fit [G] what we're trying to pull [Eb] off here, and so I think it's going to be magic.
Why [Fm] [G] don't you [Ab] lead me?
_ _ That [Eb] is higher than [Cm] I.
Oh, [Bb] Lord, lead me.
To that rock.
[Eb] Yes, Lord, lead me.
To that rock.
[Ab] You know, most of the gospel groups who came out of [Eb] the gospel field [F] did some time singing in [Bb] tent meeting, right?
[F] I did.
Yeah?
[Ab] My granddaddy was a preacher, and I used to go to those tent revivals.
[Eb] Yeah.
Yeah, it's all real stuff.
[Ab] _ _
Still [Db] sing, _ _ come ye singers, [Gb] lost [Db] and _ _ _ broken,
_ _ [Ab] on high, _ for it's hopeless [Db] heaven [Eb] now. _ _ _
[Ab] He told Mr.
Graham one day, I said, Bill, _ when you [Db] get to heaven, _ [Ab] you're going to be out of a [G] job,
but Bev and I won't.
We're going to go on [C] singing.
_ He said, well, when I get to heaven, I'm going to sing like Bev Shay.
_ [N] I said, it'll take heaven to do that.
_ [C] That's what he said.
_ In the swing _ _ _ [G] by and by, _ _ we shall meet on that _ beautiful [C] shore. _
_ [D] _ And [G] when time _
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ surrenders, _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] there's no [B] more.
_ But sometimes I hurt, _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ sometimes [E] _ I cry.
_ [C] I sing with _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ happy.
[Gm] _
[F] Cliff, [D] you said [C] earlier, _ _ is the crowd going to sing?
There is no [A]
director [Gb] from the beginning [Ebm] of time in [Db] Christian [Ab] music that can [Db] get a crowd to sing like Cliff Barrell.
This is my _ story, _ [Gb] this is [Db] my _ _ song, raising [Gb] my _ [Db] stadium.
_ [E] [Em] Isn't our Lord [Ab] to the [E] ages, oh, heavenly, _ heavenly. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, God's crown is new, on that happy morning.
[Gb] _ Oh, [B] shout [Em] that new morning, [E] oh, God's glory. _
_ _ Hallelujah, _ _ when we meet our blessings [Gb] here.
[E] God, who is the star, oh, _ God's singing.
_ Oh, [G] God's crown is [E]
new, on that happy morning.
And [Gb] we all [Dbm] shout that [Bm] [Em] cry, oh, God's glory.
_ _ Hallelujah. _ _
