[Verse 1]
G    D
  He stands behind the pulpit,
                     G
 he's calling out a line
  D
Responds to congregation,
                       A
just a little way's behind
D
Echoes down the streets of gold,
                    G      F
 through the Pearly Gates
D
  Dribbles over the Jordan,
        A              D
 and it goes on by the banks

[Verse 2]
     D
He's rattling a Werther's,
                        G    F
on his dentures in the pew
     D
He's holding down the bass,
                      A
 it's a little out of tune
        D
But his heart is in the hymnal,
                          G    F
 and that's all a boy can do
D
Make a joyful sound,
           A                 D
till the rest have come to roost

[Chorus]
G     D      G   D
 Hallelujah, jubilee
      E              A
I can hear the angel band
      D   (G)             G      F
I was bli--nd  but now I   see

[Verse 3]
G      D
  She's shouting in the aisle,
                         G        F
she's shaking something fierce
D
  Feels so good to be here,
                           A
 after all these faithful years
D
  Just took a walk with Jesus,
 just touched his
              G       F
nail-scarred hands
D
  Didn't even bother her,
          A                 D
that he ain't a blue-eyed man

D
Catholic girls and Amish boys,
                            A
 who've left their plows behind
D
Up there in the choir,
                 G      F
 singing side by  side

Wondering why exactly,
           A                 D
they been fussing the whole time
