 A                   D 
Sometimes when I'm feeling down 
E                A 
And the devil comes around 
                     D 
I start  to make a joyful sound 
     E            A 
That he cannot ignore 
           D 
It's a heavenly idea 
E              A 
Guaranteed to make him flee-yah 
            D 
Perfect panacea

A              D 
Congregation gone to sleep 
E                 A 
Sermon must have been too deep 
                D 
Pitiful sight, but at least 
         E           A 
They're all in one accord 
                     D 
Sunday services are very 
E              A 
Much like cemetery 
                  D 
Someone ought to tell them  
E                          A 
Seven ways to praise the Lord
