[Verse 1]
He’s got oAmld time religion
BDmuries his cash in a coffee can
And he mAmakes his decisions
E7Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man
And hAme had a vision
Of a fiDmre it burned up all of the land
You could cAmall it superstition
You could Dmrun just as fast as you E7can
He Amtook a beating
His fatDmher screamed at the top of his lungs
An OAmld Testament reading
If you sE7pare the rod you spoil the son
He’s got scAmars for his bleeding
FDmear of God fills everyone
You can lAmisten to Him pleading
PDmleadings for the holy son (to)
[Chorus]
Give me that olAmd time religion
Give me that Dmold time religion
Give me that Amold time religion
It’s gE7ood enough for me
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
He’s gAmot a King James edition
WDmith all of the words of Christ in red
And he reAmads the inscription
EveDmry night when he goes to bed
And Amhe goes fishing
For sDmin in men like Jesus said
Got an Amold time conviction
Keeps E7the bodies in the shed
HAme had a woman
ToDmok her to church every Sunday morn
He said sAmubmit to your husband
DmSubmit to me thus, sayeth the Lord
Well he Amnever saw it coming
When she Dmtried to get away in his ‘34 Ford
Now a wiAmdower is strumming on a baE7njo with a missing cord
[Chorus]
Give me that olAmd time religion
Give me that Dmold time religion
Give me that Amold time religion
It’s gE7ood enough for me
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
Give me that olAmd time religion
Give me that Dmold time religion
Give me that Amold time religion
It’s gE7ood enough for me

[Verse 1]

He’s got old time religion

Buries his cash in a coffee can

And he makes his decisions

Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man

And he had a vision

Of a fire it burned up all of the land

You could call it superstition

Dm E7

You could run just as fast as you can

He took a beating

His father screamed at the top of his lungs

An Old Testament reading

If you spare the rod you spoil the son

He’s got scars for his bleeding

Fear of God fills everyone

You can listen to Him pleading

Pleadings for the holy son (to)

[Chorus]

Give me that old time religion

It’s good enough for me

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]

He’s got a King James edition

With all of the words of Christ in red

And he reads the inscription

Every night when he goes to bed

And he goes fishing

For sin in men like Jesus said

Got an old time conviction

Keeps the bodies in the shed

He had a woman

Took her to church every Sunday morn

He said submit to your husband

Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord

Well he never saw it coming

When she tried to get away in his ‘34 Ford

Am E7

Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord

[Chorus]

Give me that old time religion

It’s good enough for me

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]

Give me that old time religion

It’s good enough for me
