A Matter of Policy

(Spoken)  "Here's a little story about what happens when you get religion
ahead of the Lord instead of the other way around."


    D                           A7                 D
A funny thing happened on the way to Church last Sunday,
G                                      D
Billows of smoke came rollin' from the door.
G                            D
I ran up to tell the leading Deacon
                                     A7                    D
Something should be done, 'cause the Church is on fire for sure. 
                                                            (And he said)
                     A7
Chorus:    "That's a point well put, and a timely suggestion.
            D
            We'll bring it up at the very next meeting
                   A7
            Of the board of Deacons a week from Tuesday.
            D
            I don't know why, it's just Church policy
                A7                        D  
        at the Naz-a-metha, Babta-costal, 7th day Orthodox, Luther-a-terian,
            A7                                       D      G  D
        Non-Denominational Church of Our Lady of the Mind."


Well, we were back in Church the very next Sunday
In a tent bought and paid for by the building fund.
I stood up to tell the congregation
"There's a tornado coming, everybody run!" (And they said)


(chorus)


D D G D    D D G D     D D G D     D D G D   G G# A...Adim...


We had an open-air meeting the very next Sunday
When the trumpets sounded, and the clouds were rolled away.
G                            D      Bm
I stood up to tell the congregation
      D                  A7              G   D A D
"Lift up your heads, the Lord has come today........" (And they said)
