Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 The Cweather aint so good on the Fcoast

 The Cbeer Im drinkin wont Flast forever C

 The night is still Fyoung, Ive got hours and hAmours until dGawn

[the rest of the verses follow the above pattern]

Theres some weather common in

All the folks drink their tonic and gin

Remember days when it werent so rainy, cold and hard

The rain stops for a while

The children play for a while

Doesnt matter what the squal, when you know the brakes keep on comin

Chorus

 They Call sang halleGlujah, halleClujah

 When FSunday came

 They Call sang halleGlujah, halleClujah

 When FSunday came

The mountain to the east

And the bay’s to the west

The ocean’s somewhere out there beyond that narrow strip of land

Not a fishing town anymore

Not many fishing boats go out anymore

There aren’t so many fish in the stores brought from far away places

People mined here before

Sold insurance here before

Sold anything anyone would buy here before, figuring that people knew what they were in for

And theyd all sing hallelujah, hallelujah

When Sunday came

And they all sang hallelujah, hallelujah

When Sunday came

Instrumental break

C F C F C F Am G

The mill pumps on like before

The logs roll from the mountain to the shore

Cut in pieces, put in boats, sent off to build far away homes

When the loggers and fishermen came

Met the natives and botched up their names

Gave em their only book, the Bible, and taught them to pray

And they soon sang hallelujah, hallelujah

When Sunday came

And they soon sang hallelujah, hallelujah

When Sunday came

Now in the fall the students come

Feel like theyre the first ones

To find a town so empty sad beautiful, and better than where they came from

But theres a mall to be blown up

A downtown to be built up

And all of the businesses need to be owned by those who work there

Then all sing hallelujah, hallelujah

When every day comes

And all sing hallelujah, hallelujah

When Sunday comes
