Intro:

Verse 1:
A augmentedA           G+G
Grandpa Wilbur was the first to be saved
  D MajorD                  D/G
He traveled the country playing on the church stage
    A augmentedA           G+G
They'd pass the hat, that was all he was paid
     D MajorD            D/G   A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
He was a dying breed long before his day

Verse 2:
  A augmentedA           G+G
The lights came up and he brought them to tears
    D MajorD
They'd run the aisle, talked in tongues and they cheered
   A augmentedA                G+G
They asked him how he did it, his response was the same
      D MajorD
There was a little voice inside that kept on calling his name that said:

Chorus:
A augmentedA
Give 'em three chords
    G+G
And the Holy Ghost
D MajorD
They'll start a-moving
  E5E5   D5D5   G5G5
And shaking on the floor
A augmentedA
Don't let up
     G+G
When they start to sweat
      D MajorD
They'll be dancing all night long
D MajorD
When revival hits
     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Now watch 'em dance
  A augmentedA      D MajorD
Go on and dance

Verse 2:
A augmentedA             G+G
Now Wilbur's gone and the path that he charted
     D MajorD
Now it's up to me to carry on what he started
  A augmentedA               G+G
The message is different, but the chords are the same
   D MajorD
Every night in the green room I hear him calling my name he says:

Chorus:
A augmentedA
Give 'em three chords
     G+G
And some rock 'n roll
D MajorD
They start a-moving
  E5E5   D5D5   G5G5
And shaking on the floor
A augmentedA
Don't let up
     G+G
When they start to dance
      D MajorD
They'll be waving and a-clapping
    E5E5   D5D5  G5G5
And a-shaking their hands
A augmentedA
Oh yeah
G+G
There they go
   D MajorD
They want to feel the rhythm
  E5E5   D5D5    G5G5
And they're ready for more

When they start to dance

And a-waving their hands
A augmentedA
Oh yeah
