Plenty Of Time

Eb C+ C7 Fm I got up on Sunday morning, went to the church at ten, Bb7 Eb I listened to the words that I’d heard time and time again; Ab Eb Cm The preacher spoke of sinful lives, it seemed he spoke of mine, Fm Bb7 Eb But I was young, I had plenty of time. Eb C+ C7 Fm I walked on down life’s pathway, living as I wished to live, Bb7 Eb Out to beat the other fellow, out to get what life could give; Ab Eb Cm Making money is not sinful, having fun is not a crime, Fm Bb7 Eb So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time. Ab Bb7 Eb Fm Plenty of time to decide where I’m bound, Fm7 Bb7 Eb To eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown; Ab Bb Eb Cm I’m just a young man not yet in my prime, Fm Bb7 Eb So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time. Eb C+ C7 Fm Before I knew what had happened life’s scenes had passed away, Bb7 Eb And millions stood before God’s throne for it was judgment day; Ab Eb Cm Now eternal darkness beckons, and the name it calls is mine, Fm Bb7 Eb But I thought I had plenty of time. Ab Bb7 Eb Cm Eternity waits, I’ve got plenty of time, Fm7 Bb7 Eb To think of all the days Christ could have been mine; Ab Bb Eb Cm My chance is over, earth’s days are left behind, Fm Bb7 Eb And here am I, I’ve got plenty of time. Fm Bb7 Eb4 Eb Now I’ve got nothing but plenty of time.
