Country Baptizing The Old Chords

(ver. 1)
Gram Parsons
[Verse 1]
G                             C           G
Traveling down a country road on one Sunday morn
                                  A7                  D7
I Saw a crowd gathered at the creek near a little country farm
G                                 C                 G
I thought that I'd move closer in, so I might see and hear
                               D7                 G
Why they looked so happy there without a thing to fear

[Chorus]
G                                C             G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
                                               A7                    D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G                                       C              G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
                                D7          G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek

[Verse 2]
G                            C             G
Then a low and gentle voice invited me come in
                               A7              D7
We're so glad to have you here welcome now my friend
G                              C                     G
We've held a great revival sir up at the church all week
                             D7          G
Now we're having a baptizing down at the creek

[Chorus]
G                                C             G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
                                               A7                    D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G                                       C              G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
                                D7          G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek

[Verse 3]

G                                 C               G
Well I'm so glad that I could be among that happy throng
                                 A7                     D7
Watch them wash their sins away while they right their wrongs
G                                         C                G
Seems that you could hear them say with a smile upon their face
                                 D7            G
Lord I'm ready now to move along to my resting place

[Chorus]
G                                C             G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
                                               A7                    D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G                                       C              G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
                                D7          G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek
