Antioch Church House Choir

F#m D A D D F#m Please let me sing in the choir, in the choir, Em please let me sing in the choir. A One old man can't be all that bad, G D A won't you please let me sing in the choir. D F#m I guess you'd say he's a fixture, Em around town they all knew his name. A And every time the church bells rang, G D Uncle Jesse, he up and came. D F#m He always sat in the very same pew Em humming in a voice loud and rough. A When it came to the Antioch Church house choir G D A Uncle Jesse never heard enough. D F#m He always wanted to sing in the choir Em but he couldn't sing a lick don't you know A Why, he tried out for the Antioch Choir, G D A 34 years in a row D F#m He always get to the try-outs early Em he wanted to try out first, A but instead of his singing getting any better G D every year it just got a little worse G A He said: D F#m Please let me sing in the choir, in the choir, Em please let me sing in the choir. A One old man can't be all that bad, G D A won't you please let me sing in the choir. Eb Gm One cloudy Sunday morning, Fm I remember it was raining some Bb The church bells rang and everybody came Ab Eb except Jesse, He didn't come. Eb Gm And everybody started getting worried, Fm but they figured they'd start anyhow. Bb Just as they did Jesse's voice came Ab booming down from Heaven, Eb and I don't know how. He said; Ebm Gm I've found me a choir that'll let me sing, Fm now I'm singing in the choir Bb You folks down there can't hold me a light Ab Eb 'cause I'm singing in the heavenly choir. Ebm Gm I've found me a choir that'll let me sing, Fm now I'm singing in the choir Bb and I can raise my voice just as high as yours. Ab Eb Maybe just a little higher. Eb Gm I've found me a choir that'll let me sing, Fm now I'm singing in the choir Bb You folks down there can't hold me a light Ab Eb 'cause I'm singing in the heavenly choir. Ebm Gm Please let me sing in the choir, in the choir, Fm please let me sing in the choir. Bb One old man can't be all that bad, Ab Eb One old man can't be all that bad,
