Church By The Side Of The Road chords by Johnny Horton

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
Well my daddy was a drunkard


Momma taught for the Lord


Granny took me to Sunday School

    G7G7            C majorC
To the church by the side of the road


And I?m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

    G7G7            C majorC
To the church by the side of the road

This church it wasn?t modern


It was built of log and clay


But you could see my Jesus there

   G7G7      C majorC
As we knelt down to pray


And I?m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

    G7G7            C majorC
To the church by the side of the road


Well time has came between us


And the years have come and gone


I?m a-leaving here tomorrow

   G7G7      C majorC
I?ve been away too long


And I?m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

    G7G7            C majorC
