Old Time Religion Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Through the years, my friends,
I've been asked many times,
[G]Say, Carl, where did that rhythm
[Gm]come from in your [D]music, boy?
Well, I'll have to say, my friends,
[Bm]I think that it actu[D]ally came from
those Lake County [E]cotton [A]fields.
But there was a [D]spirit in that cotton field
that Mama took home at night with her.
An[G]d when she sat in that old
rocking chair
and me with my little [D]guitar
and [Gm]mama sang song[D]s that just,
oh, they grew to be a part of me.
[A]They are, to this day, songs like thi[D]s.
Amazing grace, how [G]sweet the [D]sound.
That saved [A]a w[Bm]retch like m[A]e
Lord, [D]I once was lost
But [G]now I'm [D]found I've
[A]bee[D]n blind[Bm]
But [A]now I [D]see[G][D][A]
Yeah, and after ten or twelve long hours
In them Lake County cotton fields
My mama used to say, Little Carly
Get your guitar down off that nail, boy
And let's sing
Oh, we're tired,
but it'll make us feel good
Oh, how right my mama was,
how right she was
She still is, cause these songs
will make you feel good
Come on and help me sing, will ya?
Alright
Gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside,
[E]down by the riverside
[A]Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside
I won't [E]study war no [A]more
Ain't gonna [D]study [A]war [E]no mor[A]e,[D]
[A]ain't [E]gonna study war no [A]more.
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside,
[E]down by the riverside
[A]Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I won't [E]study war no [A]more
Ain't gonna [D]study war no more,
ain't gonna [A]study war no more,
ain't gonna [E]study war no [A]more[D][A][E]
