Verse 1:
D                                                  G
He's standin' behind the pulpit he's callin' out the lines
    D                                         A
His hummin' congregation just a little ways behind
D                                                     G
Echos down the streets of gold and through the pearly gates
D                           A                D
Ripples o'er the Jordan and goes on past the banks

Verse 2:
D                                                G
He's rattlin' a Werther's on his dentures in the pews
     D                                          A
He's holdin' down the base it's a little out of tune
        D                                                 G
But his heart is in the hymnal and that's all the boy can do
      D                             A                 D
He'll make a joyful sound until the last have come to roost

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
                     A
I can hear the angel band
      D               G
I was blind but now I see
         D                                 A                D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land

Verse 3:
D                                                   G
She's shoutin' in the aisle she's shakin' somethin' fierce
   D                                                 A
It feels so good to be home after all these faithful years
      D                                                     G
She's took a walk with Jesus she's touched his nail scarred hands
D                           A             D
Didn't even bother her that he's a darker man

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
                     A
I can hear the angel band
      D               G
I was blind but now I see
         D                                 A                D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land

Verse 4:
D                                                G
There's Methodists and Catholics Baptists of all kinds
D                                                 A
Mennonites and Amish boys that left their plows behind
        D                                                 G
They're up there in the choir and they're singin' side by side
D                              A                 D
Wonderin' why exactly they was fussin' the whole time

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
                     A
I can hear the angel band
      D               G
I was blind but now I see
         D                                 A                D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land
         D                                 A                D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land
