Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
D                         G
He's standin' behind the pulpit he's callin' out the lines
  D                     A
His hummin' congregation just a little ways behind
D                           G
Echos down the streets of gold and through the pearly gates
D              A        D
Ripples o'er the Jordan and goes on past the banks

Verse 2:
D                        G
He's rattlin' a Werther's on his dentures in the pews
   D                     A
He's holdin' down the base it's a little out of tune
    D                         G
But his heart is in the hymnal and that's all the boy can do
   D               A         D
He'll make a joyful sound until the last have come to roost

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
           A
I can hear the angel band
   D        G
I was blind but now I see
     D                 A        D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land

Verse 3:
D                          G
She's shoutin' in the aisle she's shakin' somethin' fierce
  D                         A
It feels so good to be home after all these faithful years
   D                           G
She's took a walk with Jesus she's touched his nail scarred hands
D              A       D
Didn't even bother her that he's a darker man

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
           A
I can hear the angel band
   D        G
I was blind but now I see
     D                 A        D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land

Instumental:

Verse 4:
D                        G
There's Methodists and Catholics Baptists of all kinds
D                         A
Mennonites and Amish boys that left their plows behind
    D                         G
They're up there in the choir and they're singin' side by side
D               A         D
Wonderin' why exactly they was fussin' the whole time

Chorus:
D
Hallelujah-- Jubilee
           A
I can hear the angel band
   D        G
I was blind but now I see
     D                 A        D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land
     D                 A        D
And I'll jump right in amongst them when I reach that glory land
