[Verse]
We used to Bbcome from miles around
And Eb/Bbhave diBbnner on the ground
Bb7/DunderneEbath those old Eb/Gshade tBbrees
And sing the old songs Eb/Bbin sGmhape-notes
Bb/DIn foC7ur-part C13harmonF7y
Like "BbHe Set Me Free" Eb/Bband "HeBb'll Pilot Me"
And "DAnywhere D7is HGmome"
How lBbong has it Gmbeen
Since you heard an C9old convF13ention Bbsong?
[Chorus]
I sBbtill (I still) love to hear (love to hear)
Bb7/DThose oEbld convenEb/Gtion soBbngs
That I heard (that I heard) as a chGmild (as a child)
When we sCang tC9hem C13all C7/Gday lF7ong
Like "BbI'm A Gon-na Walk" Eb/Bband "JBbust a Little Talk"
And D"All the dD7ay loGmng"F9  
How Bblong (how long) has it bGmeen (has it been)
Since you heard an oC9ld convF13ention sBbong
[Verse]
Gospel sBbongs today
Eb/Bbhave a lBbot to say
They Bb7/Dlift you Ebup when you're fEb/Geeling Bbdown
Some have a counEb/Bbtry flavGmor,

They aBbll serve the need Eb/Bbof pBblanting seeds,
so I Dknow they can't D7go wrGmong
But there's Bbnone so dear as Gmwhen I hear
an oC9ld conveF13ntion sBbong.
