D5
The doors to the mission open at seven 
                                 A5
And the soup will be ready about nine 

Right now its six-thirty, they're ragged and dirty 
                                         D5
They standin' and sittin', and layin' in line 

First they'll do a little singin', then hear a little preachin' 
                                    G5
And get saved for the 3rd time this week 
                           D5
A bowl of soup later and a pat on the shoulder 
       A5                            D5
And by midnight, they're back on the street. 
D5
 They walk to the corner of 4th street and Broadway 
                                 A5
Then take the first alley on the right 

One of them asks a stranger, how 'bout a hand 
                                 D5
And he gives 'em one finger at a time 

Then they spot an old buddy, with a bottle of heaven 
                                  G5
Then pass around what means ev'ry- thing 
                           D5
One bottle for four, thank God, someone scored 
            A5                       D5
And now the Midnight Choir starts to sing. 
 
CHORUS: A CAPPELLA  

Will they have Mogen David in heaven 

Dear Lord, we'd all like to know 

Will they have Mogen David in heaven, Sweet Jesus 

If they don't, who the hell wants to go. 
 
CHORUS: W/ACCOMPANIMENT

Will they have Mogen David in heaven 
                              A5
E Dear Lord, we'd all like to know 
          G5                   D5             G5
Will they have Mogen David in Heaven, Sweet Jesus 
        D5              A5            D5
If they don't, who the hell wants to go.

Oh! ... (Come on now...)
