  Verse 1:

        G                                       C/G

  	There's an old familiar hillside overlooking Emhouse,Texas

                   G                                   D

  	Where i left some childhood memories layin' round

                G                              C/G

  	I can almost hear the singing,i can still remember praying

                  G                                D              G   

  	At them old campground meetings eatin' chicken on the ground

  

  

  Chorus:

        G            D                        G

  	With them hallelujahs ringin',everybody shoutin',singin'

                                                                 D

  	Give me that old time religion,Jesus loves me,this i know

                G                               C/G

  	When life was finger-lickin' good and God lived in our neighborhood

                  G                                D              C/G 

  	At them old campground meetin's eatin' chicken on the ground

  

  

  Verse 2:

        G                                       C/G

  	I can still remember feelin' all that happiness inside me

                   G                                   D  

  	When i praised the Lord and laid my burdens down

                     G                              C/G     

  	But that chicken must have tasted better than the word of God

                           G                              D               G

  	'Cause it went slippin' through my fingers and rollin' on the ground

  

  

  Chorus.

  

  

  Verse 3:

        G                             C/G 

  	I reckon everyone of us can call back or remember

  	          G                                 D  

  	When the taste and smell of youth was all around

                 G                         C/G 

  	And i reckon in our own way everyone of us is payin' now

               G                                   D            G

  	For eatin' chicken  and not listenin' to old Parson Brown

  

  

  Chorus (x3).
