Trouble In The Amen Corner chords by

Verse 1
G
C
G

Rock of Ages cleft for me...
C
G
C

Doo -doo -doo...
G

It was a stylish congregation.

You could see they'd been around.
D

And they had the biggest pipe organ

of any church in town.
G

But over in the amen corner of

that church sat Brother Eyre,

and he insisted every Sunday
D

on singing in the choir.
G

His voice was cracked and broken,

age had touched his vocal cords,

and nearly every Sunday

he'd get behind

and miss the words.
C
G

Well, the choir got so flustered,

the church was told in fine
C
G

that Brother Eyre must stop his singing

or the choir was going to resign.
C
G

So the pastor appointed a committee,

I think it was three or four,

and they got in their big fine car

and drove up to Eyre's door.
C
G

They found the choir's great trouble

sitting there in an old armchair
C
Cm

an d the sum
G

mer's golden sunbeams
D
G

lay upon his snow -white hair.

Said York, we're here dear brother

with the vestry's approbation
D

to discuss a little matter

that affects the congregation.

Now it seems that your voice
G

has interfered with the choir,

so if you'll just lay out. you
D

listening brother Iyer?
G

The old man raised his head,

a sign that he did hear,

and on his cheek the three men

caught the glitter of a tear.
C
G

His feeble hands pushed back

the loxus white of silky snow,
C
G

and he answered the committee
C
G

in a voice both soft and low.
D
G

I wonder if beyond the tide

that's bracketed at my feet,

in that far -off heavenly temple
C
G

where my master I shall meet.

Yes, I wonder if when I try to sing
Em
G

the songs of God up higher,
C
G

I wonder if they'll kick me out up there

for singing in heaven's choir.
D

A silence filled the little room.
G

The old man bowed his head.

The committee went on back to town,
D

but Brother Eyre was dead.

The choir missed him for a while,
G

but he was soon forgot.

A few churchgoers watched the door,
C

but the old man entered not.
G

Far away his voice is sweet,
C
G

and he sings his heart's desires,

where there are no church committees
C
G
D
G

an d no fashionable choirs.
C
Cm
G
D
G

Let me hide myself in Thee.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
