The Old Account chords by Johnny Cash

Guitar chords with lyrics

C
Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven

   F               C            D7          G7
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven

   C                                         C7
My name was at the top and many things below

      F             C          G7              C
But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago


     G7                          C
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)

                                     G7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)

        C                             F              C
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away

                        G7           C
And the old account was settled long ago



Well the old account was large and growing every day

    F            C             D7             G7
And I was always sinning and I never tried to pray

    C                                            C7
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe

       F             C          G7              C
Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago


     G7                          C
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)

                                     G7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)

        C                             F              C
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away

                        G7           C
And the old account was settled long ago



Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins

      F                     D7                 G7
Cause this he has commanded if you would enter in

    C                                              C7
And then if you should live  a hundred years below

         F               C                  G7              C
Well you know you got it settled  cause you settled it long ago


     G7                          C
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)

                                     G7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)

        C                             F              C
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away

                        G7           C
