_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] sitting [C] down in the wood. _

[G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] that had been there [F] for a mighty _ [C] long time. _

[F] _ _ get _ old, _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ people will [C] push you on the side. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But they went [F] back to church that next [C] Sunday morning _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ and they [C] noticed that the old man
wasn't sitting over in the corner.
_ _ _ _ And they went [F] back that next Sunday morning _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ and they [C] noticed that the old man wasn't sitting in the [C] corner _

anybody seen the old man, _ _ _

[C] Finally a voice _ came [A] down from heaven [C] away. _ _
[F] And I'm gonna tell you [C] what this [Dm] voice said.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
I _ _ [A] _ found _ _ _ _ _ the _ choir

that [Dm] would let me _ [G] sing.
You know [C] what? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Yes I do. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] Yes I do.
I _ _ _ found _ _ [Am] the _ _ [C] _ _
choir
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
that would [Dm] let me [F] sing.
You know what I'm [C] talking about? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh Lord, _ yes I [F] do.
You know what? _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] By that time, they [C] recognized whose voice it was. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [F] everybody _ [C] _ _ looked up to [Dm] what he was doing.
_ [F] _ _
And [C] the old man began to talk to _ them.
_ _ _ _ He said, one [F] thing about this choir that I sing with [Dm] now,
_ _ _ [F] _ we don't have [C] to wait until Sunday morning [Am] to sing.
I'm gonna keep it.
[C] _ But _ [F] every morning,
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
me and all the angels get together _
_ _ _ _ and we sing [F] songs that you never heard in your life.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ And if y [C]'all _ don't mind, _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] I wanna tell you [F] what the old man [Am] said one more _ [Dm] _ time.
