E7When it's all over but the shoutin'
E7When God the Father's done his final accounting
And I F#7find out that I E7made the cut
     NC
Boys I'm gonna get me a chariot
A7Yeah a big gold eagle on the hood
Trans AE7m chariot
E7Gonna find my great great granddaddy
E7That peace pipe smokin' Cherokee
Gonna get him all F#7schooled in them E7mags and struts
     NC
Then we gonna drag us a chariot
Yeah a A7big gold eagle painted on the hood chE7ariot
EGood Lord E/G#Wichita
ASure hope Samson Eain't no law dog
ERedneck you E/G#better outrun him
ADamn Gsure Adon't GwanAna Gget Ecaught
ECrime, E/G#what crime
We Awas all hopped up Eon new wine
And DMama's gonna A/C#kill me if I get
Bkicked out of the choir
But you just E7gotta run them chariots
E7Now here's a little story happened long ago
E7One day Ezekiel went out for a stroll
E7Walkin' by the river low and behold
E7Down came 4 angels in a Cadillac Gold
E7He said, "Swing down sweet chariot come on
E7And give me a ride"
E7So they scooped 'em up, the rig was souped up
E7Man it had TVs inside
Ol' F#7Zeke was surprised 'cause his eyes had seen bE7eyond
E7His wildest dreams, he'd go on to see a thousand times
E7We'll paint that number eight on the driver's side
E7That's how old I was when I gave Jesus my life
I stepped F#7right up and got E7washed in the blood
       NC
Just a little kid singin' 'bout a chariot
A A7big gold eagle painted on the hood chE7ariot
EGood Lord E/G#Wichita
ASure hope Samson Eain't no law dog
ERedneck you E/G#better outrun him
