Old Time Religion Uke tab by Parker Millsap

Am 
He’s got old time religion 
 Dm         
Buries his cash in a coffee can 
        Am 
And he makes his decisions 
G 
Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man 
     Am    
And he had a vision 
       Dm 
Of a fire it burned up all of the land 
           Am 
You could call it superstition 
          Dm                      G 
You could run just as fast as you can 
   Am 
He took a beating 
       Dm 
His father screamed at the top of his lungs 
    Am 
An Old Testament reading 
        G 
If you spare the rod you spoil the son 
           Am 
He’s got scars for his bleeding 
 Dm         
Fear of God fills everyone 
         Am 
You can listen to Him pleading 
 Dm 
Pleadings for the holy son (to) 


 
               Am 
Give me that old time religion 
             Dm 
Give me that old time religion 
             Am 
Give me that old time religion 
      G 
It’s good enough for me

      Am 
He’s got a King James edition 
 Dm 
With all of the words of Christ in red 
         Am 
And he reads the inscription 
   Dm 
Every night when he goes to bed 
    Am 
And he goes fishing 
     Dm 
For sin in men like Jesus said 
       Am 
Got an old time conviction 
          G 
Keeps the bodies in the shed 
 Am   
He had a woman 
  Dm 
Took her to church every Sunday morn 
         Am 
He said submit to your husband 
Dm 
Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord 
        Am 
Well he never saw it coming 
         Dm 
When she tried to get away in his ‘34 Ford 
        Am                        G 
Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord 


 
               Am 
Give me that old time religion 
             Dm 
Give me that old time religion 
             Am 
Give me that old time religion 
      G 
It’s good enough for me
