A  G  D  D/G  A  G  D  D/G



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

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

Chorus:
A
Give 'em three chords
        G
And the Holy Ghost
D
They'll start a-moving
    E5      D5     G5
And shaking on the floor
A
Don't let up
          G
When they start to sweat
           D
They'll be dancing all night long
D
When revival hits
          A        D
Now watch 'em dance
   A           D
Go on and dance

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

Chorus:
A
Give 'em three chords
         G
And some rock 'n roll
D
They start a-moving
    E5      D5     G5
And shaking on the floor
A
Don't let up
          G
When they start to dance
           D
They'll be waving and a-clapping
       E5     D5    G5
And a-shaking their hands
A
Oh yeah
G
There they go
     D
They want to feel the rhythm
    E5      D5        G5
And they're ready for more
N.C.                    D5
So give 'em three chords
N.C.               D5  N.C.
Give 'em three more

Don't let up
          G
When they start to dance
G
They keep moving and a-shaking
      D
And a-waving their hands
A
Oh yeah
G
There they go
     D
They want to feel the rhythm
D
And they're ready for more
