Verse 1
D
G
It was a stylish congreg_ ation
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 be_ hind 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 sun_ beams 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 con_ gregation
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 hand_ s 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 won_ der if beyond the tide
G
that's breaking at my feet
D
In that far off heavenly temple where
Em
D
my Mas_ ter 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
