Right On Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Went to the [D]river to be baptized
When I got there to my surprise
My neighbors were gone
and the preacher too
I cried "Oh Lord", what shall I do?

[Verse 2]
Then a voice cried [D]out so loud and plain
I heard someone call my name
Singin', "You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on tim[Bm]e"
[A]Brother [D]John [A]said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]
"You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]

[Verse 3]
Up on a [D]mountain, one cloudy day
I closed my eyes and I began to pray
When I opened my eyes,
you know the sun broke through
My heart was happy and
my soul was new

[Verse 4]
I started [D]walking and before too long
I heard his voice sing this song
Singin', "You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're right on t[A]ime"[D][Bm]
[D]"You're right on tim[Bm]e,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]

[Verse 5]
Went to the station in [D]the pouring rain
Made up my mind to ride
that gospel train
When I got there,
the train was picking up speed
I cried "Oh, Lord" and fell
on my [G]knees[D]

[Verse 6]
When the brakeman heard, he slowed [D]that
train right down
When I jumped on board,
he said your glory bound
"You're [Bm]right on time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D] oh
"You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm][G]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Hallelujah
So, when I feel like every hope has died
I remember that voice by
the waterside
"You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D] oh
"You're right on [Bm]time,
[A]rig[D]ht on time"[Bm]
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]
"You're right on [Bm]time,[A]

[Verse 8]
[D]
right on [Bm]time"
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You're righ[A]t on time"[D]
"You're right [Bm]on t[A]ime,
[D]right on tim[Bm]e"
[A]Brother [D]John said,
[Bm]"You'r[A]e right on time"[G][Gsus4]
[G]I'm goin' home on
the mornin' [D]train

[Verse 9]
[D]You made me really got Holy
Ghost (amen)
