Plenty Of Time chords by Connie Smith

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
     Eb     C+    C7 Fm
I got up on Sunday morning, went to the church at ten,
  Bb7              Eb
I listened to the words that I’d heard time and time again;
  Ab                 Eb        Cm
The preacher spoke of sinful lives, it seemed he spoke of mine,
      Fm     Bb7    Eb
But I was young, I had plenty of time.

Verse 2:
     Eb       C+    C7  Fm
I walked on down life’s pathway, living as I wished to live,
    Bb7              Eb
Out to beat the other fellow, out to get what life could give;
    Ab             Eb      Cm
Making money is not sinful, having fun is not a crime,
       Fm       Bb7    Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.

Chorus:
 Ab    Bb7    Eb       Fm
Plenty of time to decide where I’m bound,
  Fm7   Bb7    Eb
To eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown;
 Ab     Bb      Eb     Cm
I’m just a young man not yet in my prime,
       Fm       Bb7    Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.

Verse 3:
    Eb       C+    C7   Fm
Before I knew what had happened life’s scenes had passed away,
  Bb7                  Eb
And millions stood before God’s throne for it was judgment day;
   Ab                Eb        Cm
Now eternal darkness beckons, and the name it calls is mine,
    Fm      Bb7    Eb
But I thought I had plenty of time.

Chorus 2:
 Ab   Bb7       Eb    Cm
Eternity waits, I’ve got plenty of time,
  Fm7       Bb7     Eb
To think of all the days Christ could have been mine;
Ab      Bb      Eb       Cm
My chance is over, earth’s days are left behind,
      Fm      Bb7    Eb
And here am I, I’ve got plenty of time.

Tag:
       Fm     Bb7    Eb4  Eb
Now I’ve got nothing but plenty of time.
