Standard (EADGBE)

Intro chords

Grandma slicked my hair down

I synched up my belt

I can still remember

How that polyester felt

Townsfolk all a tremble

They know what labors for

As the preacher takes the pulpit

And the ushers shut the door

(Instrumental Break-Intro Chords)

Came into this crazy world

Around 19 and 68

Fathered by a crazy kid

With nothing on his plate

Daddy got in trouble

Yeah Daddy did some time

It was visiting day in the penitentiary

Is where I learned to cry

Chorus 1

Yeah. We were singing those hymns

Over and over again

Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights

Never understood it all

That well back then

But it probably saved my life

Yeah. We were singing those hymns

Over and over again

Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights

Never understood it all

That well back then

But it probably saved my life

(Instrumental Break-Solo)

(Back Into Intro Chords)

Summertime I lived with Grandma

Where I learned the golden rule

Or some southern variation

Called vacation bible school

I never got in trouble

I was just lucky I suppose

I was never quite an angel

Even in those Sunday clothes

Chorus 2

Yeah. We were singing those hymns

Over and over again

Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights

Never understood it all

That well back then

But it probably saved my life

Yeah. We were singing those hymns

Over and over again

Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday nights

Never understood it all

That well back then

But it probably saved my life

It probably saved my life

It probably saved my life
