The Old Account
By Johnny Cash
 
C
Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven
   F               C            D7          G7
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven 
   C                                         C7
My name was at the top and many things below 
      F             C          G7              C
But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago
 
     G7                          C
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all) 
                                     G7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah) 
        C                             F              C
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away 
                        G7           C
And the old account was settled long ago  
 
                                                
Well the old account was large and growing every day 
    F            C             D7             G7
And I was always sinning and I never tried to pray 
    C                                            C7
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe 
       F             C          G7              C
Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago 
 
Repeat #2

Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins 
      F                     D7                 G7
Cause this he has commanded if you would enter in 
    C                                              C7
And then if you should live  a hundred years below 
         F               C                  G7              C
Well you know you got it settled  cause you settled it long ago 
 
Repeat #2
