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
