Crying in the Chapel
by Eddy Arnold
C F
You saw me crying in the chapel
C
The tears I shed were tears of joy
D7
I know the meaning of contentment
G7 C
Now I am happy with the Lord
F
Just a plain and simple chapel
C
Where humble people go to pray
D7
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
G7 C
As I live from day to day
C7 F C D7
I've searched and I've searched but I couldn't find
Am D7 G7
No way on earth to gain peace of mind
F
Now I'm happy in the chapel
C
Where people are of one accord
D7
We gather in the chapel
F D7 F C
Just to sing and praise the Lord
Every sinner looks for something that will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer he must get down on his knees.
Meet your neighbor in the chapel join with him in tears of joy;
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
