B5 D5 G5 D(Repeat)

B5                 D5
Grandma slicked my hair down
    G5            D5
I synched up my belt
B5          D5
I can still remember
          G5         D5
How that polyester felt
B5             D5
Townsfolk all a tremble
     G5                D5
They know what labors for
       B5                 D5
As the preacher takes the pulpit
        G5               D5
And the ushers shut the door


(Instrumental Break-Intro Chords)


B5             D5
Came into this crazy world
      G5       D5
Around 19 and 68
B5             D5
Fathered by a crazy kid
     G5               D5
With nothing on his plate
B5             D5
Daddy got in trouble
     G5               D5
Yeah Daddy did some time
       B5                 D5
It was visiting day in the penitentiary 
    G5                 D5
Is where I learned to cry


Chorus 1:
               B5             
Yeah.  We were singing those hymns
         D5
Over and over again
       G5                                 D5
Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights
B5             
Never understood it all
      D5
That well back then
       G5                 D5
But it probably saved my life 

               B5             
Yeah.  We were singing those hymns
         D5
Over and over again

Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights
B5             
Never understood it all
      D5
That well back then
       G5                 D5
But it probably saved my life

B5                     D5
Summertime I lived with Grandma
        G5                  D5
Where I learned the golden rule
   B5           D5
Or some southern variation 
       G5              D5
Called vacation bible school
B5             D5
I never got in trouble 
           G5            D5
I was just lucky I suppose
     B5              D5
I was never quite an angel
     G5               D5
Even in those Sunday clothes
