Tuning: Standard

🎸 Intro:

G+G A minorAm G+G



🎸 Verse :
 G+G   A minorAm    G+G
I can't help but wonder

if these floorboard creaked
   C majorC    G+G
the same in '42
        D MajorD      E minorEm
When my great grandpa his heart
        Am7Am7
and soul into preachin'
     D MajorD
the good news
      G+G    A minorAm
And these tattered old red
 G+G        C majorC        G+G
hymn books have caught a tear or two
       D MajorD           E minorEm
'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, just as
         Am7Am7     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I am, without the spirit movin' you
     Am7Am7  G+G    C majorC
If those altars at the front
    G+G  D MajorD
could testify I know they'd say
  Am7Am7  G+G    C majorC    G+G
It never once got old hearing
  D MajorD
a sinner call His name


🎸 Chorus:
      C majorC
I know the stained glass

never saved a soul
     Am7Am7
And these pews ain't on the
         G+G
roll that's caaalled up yonder
      C majorC
I know the pulpit's

just a wooden stand
     Am7Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
    G+G        D MajorD
As His glory filled the place
       E minor 7Em7
with awe and wonder
  E minorEm        Am7Am7
I know it's just a building
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
plain and simple white

       Am7Am7
But it's the building where
 D7D7        G+G  A minorAm G+G
Jesus changed my life

🎸 Verse :
     G+G
It never claimed to be the biggest
C majorC       G+G
nobody ever called it cool
          D MajorD      E minorEm
But it's where my mama met my daddy
   Am7Am7      D MajorD
at vacation bible school
        G+G    A minorAm
It's been the picture-perfect
 G+G     C majorC        G+G
dream of a thousand glowin' brides
        D MajorD
It's heard the weeping
    E minorEm
as the loved ones laid
  Am7Am7        D MajorD
to rest with sad goodbyes


🎸 Chorus:
        C majorC
And I know the stained glass

never saved a soul
     Am7Am7
And these pews ain't on
            G+G
the roll that's called up yonder
      C majorC
I know the pulpit's just a

wooden stand
     Am7Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
    G+G        D MajorD
As His glory filled the place
       E minorEm
with awe and wonder
  D MajorD        Am7Am7
I know it's just a building
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
plain and simple white
       Am7Am7
But it's the building where
 D MajorD        G+G
Jesus changed my life


🎸 Bridge:
   C majorC    E minorEm
It's where I learned that

Jesus hears my prayers
     BB
And he's walkin' with me everywhere
    D MajorD        G+G
And no matter what I've done
    A augmentedA
I know I'm loved
  Am7Am7   A minorAm  D MajorD
I'm always loved
      G+G      A minorAm   G+G
I know it won't stand here forever
        C majorC         G+G
But I'll sure miss it when it's gone
     D MajorD      E minorEm
And I'll be forever grateful
  A minorAm    C majorC     G+G
To call that church my home


🎸 Chorus:
      C majorC
I know the stained glass

never saved a soul
      A minorAm
And these pews ain't on the roll
       G+G
that's calleeeed up yonder
      C majorC
I know the pulpit's just a

wooden stand
     Am7Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
    G+G        D MajorD
As His glory filled the place
       E minorEm
with awe and wonder
  D MajorD        A minorAm
I know it's just a building
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
plain and simple white
       Am7Am7
But it's the building
    D MajorD      E minorEm
where Jesus changed my life

Jesus changed my life
