Ol' Amos Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I remember to [Bb]this day
when [F]Amos went away
To [Bb]preach the word of [C]God
throughout the [F]land
On [Bb]back of an old buck[C]board
were the [F]Bibles [C]of the Lord
[Dm]And in h[C]is hand he held
the burning [F]sword
Right [Bb]across this mighty nation
old [F]Amos brought salvation
Into [Bb]the people's [C]homes
and in the street[F]s
He'd [Bb]pass around the plate
[C]as [F]he preached of love [C]and hate
[Dm]Your des[C]tiny will signify your [F]fate
Then they'd [C]all sing
together [Bb]in the by and by
[F]And how he [Bb]carried
[F]his cross to [C]Calvary
Then [F]Amos shook his [Bb]hand, cried,
[C]Jesus [F]is our [Bb]man,
the [F]carpenter who [C]died
for you [F]and me.[D]
Some [G]men I know got fam[C]ous,
and so [G]did good old Amos.
His [C]word of God
was spread [D]across the land.
[G]And these God[C] -fearing people
[D]in a chu[G]rch without steel
[Em]In a h[G]andless tent
they sang [D]and clapped their hands
[G]And they'd all sin[D]g together,
[C]hymn by and [G]by
And how [C]he tied his [G]cross to Calvary
[D]Then Amo[G]s shook his han[C]d, cried
Je[G]sus is our [C]man
The [G]carpenter who died [D]for you and me
[G]Now there's an end to this story
[C]Old Amo[G]s went to glory
[C]Riding out in the back [D]of an old buckboard
[G]And on [C]his epitaph was[D] a
[G]written paragraph
[Em]If you're ev[G]er up this w[D]ay, look for m[G]e
And they'd [D]all sing together
[C]in the by and [G]by
And how [C]he tied [G]his cross to Calvary
[D]Then Amo[G]s shook his han[C]d, crying
Je[G]sus is our man
[C]The car[G]penter who die[D]d for you and me[G]
The carpenter who [D]died for U .N .B.
