Verse 1:
D MajorD                 G+G
I dreamed that the great judgment mornin'
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
Had dawn and the trumpet had blown
 D MajorD               G+G
I dreamed that the nations, had gathered
  D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
To judgment before the white throne

Verse 2:
                   G+G
From the throne came a bright shining angel
  D MajorD             A augmentedA
And stood on the land and the sea
  D MajorD               G+G
And swore with her hand raised to heaven
   D MajorD      A augmentedA     D MajorD
That time was no longer to be

Chorus:
             G+G
And oh, what weeping and wailing
    D MajorD            A7A7
As the lost were told of their fate
   D MajorD              G+G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
   D MajorD         A7A7        D MajorD
They prayed, but their prayers were too late

Verse 3:
         A augmentedA   D MajorD    G+G
The rich man was there, but his money
  D MajorD          A augmentedA   A7A7
Had melted and vanished away
 D MajorD             G+G
A augmentedA pauper stood there in the judgment
  D MajorD       A7A7   D MajorD
His debts were too many to pay

Verse 4:
                 G+G
The great man was there, but his greatness
   D MajorD             A augmentedA   A7A7
When death came, was left far behind
  D MajorD           G+G
The angel that opened the records
  D MajorD      A7A7       D MajorD
No trace of his greatness could find

Verse 5:
                G+G
The widower stood there and the orphan
  D MajorD             A augmentedA    A7A7
God heard and remembered their cries
  D MajorD          G+G
No sorrow in heaven forever
  D MajorD       A augmentedA        D MajorD
God wiped all the tears from their eyes

Verse 6:
               G+G
The gambler was there and the drunkard
  D MajorD             A augmentedA
And they who had sold them the drink
   D MajorD            G+G
With people who gave them the license
 D MajorD     A7A7      D MajorD
Together in hell they did sink

Chorus:
             G+G
And oho, what weeping and wailing
    D MajorD            A augmentedA
As the lost were told of their fate
   D MajorD              G+G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
   D MajorD         A augmentedA        D MajorD
They prayed, but their prayers were too late

Verse 7:
             G+G
The mortal man to the judgment
  D MajorD              A7A7
But self righteousness would not do
    D MajorD           G+G
For the men who had crucified Jesus
  D MajorD       A7A7     D MajorD
Had passed off as mortal men too

Verse 8:
                 G+G
And the souls that had put off salvation
   D MajorD              A augmentedA  A7A7
Not tonight, I'll get saved by and by
  D MajorD           G+G
No time now to think of religion
    D MajorD      A7A7      D MajorD
But at last they'd found time to die

Outro:
             G+G
And oho, what weeping and wailing
    D MajorD            A augmentedA
As the lost were told of their fate
   D MajorD              G+G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
     D MajorD         A augmentedA        D MajorD
Then they prayed, but their prayers were too late
