Lucy Kaplansky - The Angels Rejoiced Last Night


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: A D


A house, not a home

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

Our daddy would frown

While mother was praying

His heart was so hardened
A       D
He would not believe


       D7
In anger he'd swear
  G       D
His voice cold and loud

His Sundays were spent
           A
Out with the gambling crowd


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

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



Not long ago

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

In a voice sweet and low

Her last words were spoken

Asking our daddy
  A         D
To raise her children right


       D7
The angels rejoiced
  G      D
In heaven last night

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

While mother with the angels
 A      D
Rejoiced last night


INTERLUDE:  G  D   A  D


       D7
The angels rejoiced
  G      D
In heaven last night

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

While mother with the angels
 A      D
Rejoiced last night

While mother with the angels
 A      G   D
