Mother Church

C
They came from the hills over rivers wide
         Em
Down the back roads bounce along
      F
They came to the city where the stage lights shine just to
  C              G
listen to the song
         F                                                C                        F
In the lines they stand with the calloused hands and the kin folk by thier side
              C
at the mother church
G                    C
  On a saturday night

        G                  Am                       F                 C
Well we gathered here down through the years and we seen with our own eyes
        G                    Am                   F
how the faces change but the song remains and the, music never dies
              C
at the mother curch
G               C
  on a saturday night

C
They heard the slide of the steel guitar
        Em
and the toll of the banjo ring
     F
they felt the glory when they heard their story
C             G
sung in harmony
           F                                  C                     F
and if they hadn't got a ticket boys they can still hear the show
                     C     G            C
    from the mother church on the radio

        G                  Am                       F                 C
Well we gathered here down through the years and we seen with our own eyes
        G                    Am                   F
how the faces change but the song remains and the, music never dies

       F                                    C           G
but we raised her up before they raised her body to the ground
         F                               C                F
