Intro:

N.C.          A N.C.         E N.C.
Standing room only, not even room to kneel and pray
A                  E                 B7
Standing room only on the Judgment Day


Verse 1:
E                            A
  Last night, I had an awful dream that the end of time had come
E                              A                       E
  The trumpet had been sounded   and life on earth was done
E                             A
  An angel stood, one foot on land, the other foot on sea
E                                   A
  And as I tried to kneel and pray
a voice said unto me
E                           B7
There's standing room only
it's too late now to pray
E                       E7                         A
  There's standing room only, this is the Judgment Day

Verse 2:
                              E
People filled each church and churchyard just as far as I could see
A                                 E
  I heard a pitiful cry for mercy   and then I realized it was me
A                                              E
  I saw the Savior did appear, as he split the eastern sky
                                         A
I saw tears of joy on a Christian's face   and I heard the sinners cry
E                   B7                  E
  And as I tried to touch his hand with one last eager plea
                                 A
I cried again, "Have mercy, have mercy, Lord, on me"


Verse 3:
                             E
I saw a tear come to his eye   as he turned my soul away
A                           E
I didn't know him yesterday   and he knew me not today
A                                                            E
  The earth was burning all around, the world went up in smoke
                               A
And as the flames came off me
thank God I awoke
           E                                   B7
Then I got out of bed and got down on my knees
                               E
And you should've heard me pray
                                   A
For in my dream, I witnessed God's   great Judgment Day
