Lucy Kaplansky - The Angels Rejoiced Last Night


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: A augmentedA D MajorD


A augmentedA house, not a home

Was the picture Satan painted
  G+G            D MajorD
For sweet little sister and me

Our daddy would frown

While mother was praying

His heart was so hardened
A augmentedA       D MajorD
He would not believe


       D7D7
In anger he'd swear
  G+G       D MajorD
His voice cold and loud

His Sundays were spent
           A augmentedA
Out with the gambling crowd


   D MajorD
I've never seen my daddy
 G+G        D MajorD
Inside a house of god

For Satan held his hand
     A augmentedA       D MajorD
Down the path of sin he trod


Not long ago

Our circle was broken
   G+G            D MajorD
When god called on mother one night

In a voice sweet and low

Her last words were spoken

Asking our daddy
  A augmentedA         D MajorD
To raise her children right

       D7D7
The angels rejoiced
  G+G      D MajorD
In heaven last night

I heard my daddy pray
          A augmentedA
"Dear god, make it right"
    D MajorD
He was smiling and singing
   G+G      D MajorD
With tears in his eyes

While mother with the angels
 A augmentedA      D MajorD
Rejoiced last night


INTERLUDE:  G+G  D MajorD   A augmentedA  D MajorD


       D7D7
The angels rejoiced
  G+G      D MajorD
In heaven last night

I heard my daddy pray
          A augmentedA
"Dear god, make it right"
    D MajorD
He was smiling and singing
   G+G      D MajorD
With tears in his eyes

While mother with the angels
 A augmentedA      D MajorD
Rejoiced last night

While mother with the angels
 A augmentedA      G+G   D MajorD
