Verse 1:
A                        D          A
My favorite memories are some of my first
                                  E
Like a Sunday night meetin' at an old
        A
country church
                                      D
Sometimes my grandparents, they would come
         A
and take me
                               E
To an old country church house on Gaylor
A
Creek

Verse 2:
A                          D
We all knew our neighbors, everyone there
    A
was friends

And the preacher worked the timber like
E          A
all of the men
                                   D
We were baptized in water, we were washed in
    A
the blood
                                E
Don't remember much money but I recall lots
   A      A7
of love

Chorus:
     D
That church was a long time ago, yeah I'm
                     A
talkin' distance and years
E
I'm not for certain that I could even get
           A      A7
there from here
       D
But on nights when I'm sober, not blinded by
           A
all that I see
  E
My mind washes up at that church on Gaylor
A
Creek

Verse 3:
A                 D       A
So many barrooms, so many strangers
                   D       A        A7
Women and whiskey, so many dangers
         D
That old honky tonk highway, that's a wild
         A
horse to rope
E
Son, I've seen enough neon to circle the
A      A7
globe

Chorus:

   D
That church was a long time ago, yeah I'm
                     A
talkin' distance and years
E
I'm not for certain that I could even get
           A      A7
there from here
       D
But on nights when I'm sober, not blinded by
           A
all that I see
  E
My mind washes up at that church on Gaylor
A
Creek
