Trouble In The Amen Corner chords by

Verse 1
D
G
It was a stylish congregation
you could see they'd been around
And they had the biggest pipe organ
of any church in town
D
But over in the Amen Corner of that church
G
sat Brother Ira
And he insisted every Sunday
D
Em
on singing in the choir
D
His voice was cracked and broken age
had touched his vocal chords
And nearly every Sunday he'd
G
get behind and miss the words
D
G
D
Em
D
G
Well at last the storm cloud burst
and the church was told in vine
That Brother Ira must stop his singing
or the choir was gonna resign
C
G
So the pastor appointed a committee I
D
G
think it was three or four
And they got their big fine car and
drove up to Ira's door
D
They found the choir's great trouble
G
sittin' in an old arm chair
D
G
And the summer's golden sunbeams lay
C
G
D
upon his snow white hair
G
D
G
D
Said York we're here dear Brother with
G
the best res approbation
Em
To discuss a little matter that affects
D
the congregation
Now it was our understanding
Am
when we bargained for the chair
That they were to relieve us that
is they'd do the singin' for us
D
Now we don't want no singin' except
what we've bought
G
The newest tunes are all the rage
the old ones stand for nought
Em
D
And so we have decided
are you listenin' Brother Ira
You'll have to stop your singin'
G
it's messin' up our choir
The old man raised his head
a sign that he did hear
And on his cheek the three men
C
caught the glitter of a tear
G
C
His feeble hands pushed back the locks
D
G
as white as silky snow
And he answered the committee
D
in a voice both soft and low
G
I've sung the songs of David nearly
eighty years said he
They've been my staff and comfort
all along life's dreary way
C
G
I'm sorry if I disturbed the choir
I guess I'm doin' wrong
But when my heart is filled with praise
I can't hold back a song
D
I wonder if beyond the tide
G
that's breaking at my feet
D
In that far off heavenly temple where
Em
D
my Master I shall meet
Yes I wonder if when I try to sing the
songs of God up higher
G
I wonder if they'll kick me out up there
D
Em
D
for singin' in Heaven's choir
A silence filled the little room the old
G
man bowed his head
The committee went on back to town
but Brother Ira was dead
Oh the choir missed him for a
while but he was soon forgot
C
G
And a few church goers watched the door
but the old man entered not
Far away his voice is sweet
and he sings his heart's desire
C
Where there are no church committees
C
G
and no fashionable choirs
C
G
D

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

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.”
