Topic: Church Accross The Street
This is the song Russ wrote a year or two ago. I told Russ how much I love the song so we re-wrote some of it and recorded with my lead vocal. You can find the song on the Harding/Williams My-Space site also on Sound Click.
Church Across The Way.Undefined
[A] Another Sunday morning, with [D] nothing [G] else to [D] do.
But sit here in this [A] barroom having me a [E] few.
[A] And through a smokey window, there's a [D] church [G] across the [D] way.
And alonely bell is [A] ringing, calling [E] folks to pray.
[D] I see [G] little [D] children, in mom and daddies arms.
[A] Holding on so tightly, for shelter from the [E] storms.
[A] They saw me [D] through the [A] window, [D] and I [G] tried my best to [D] hide.
Hung my head in [A] sorrow, at the [E] emptiness [A] inside.
(CHORUS)
[D] Bartender [A] pour my [E] whiskey. [A] Another round of [E] beers.
[D] Dont you [A] start your [E] preaching. Cos [A] I know why I'm [E] here.
(SAME CHORDS FOR EACH VERSE)
They were singing “Rock of Ages� , in that church across the street.
And my mind drifts back slowly, and I thought of you and me.
Then through this smokey window, I was outside looking in.
And wondering how a man, could waste his life in sin?
(REP CHORUS)
And it hurts me to remember, and I drink to ease the pain.
My whole world went crazy, when she walked out that day.
Now my church is this here barroom, and I attend it every day.
I may not get to heaven, cos hell stands in my way.
(REP CHORUS >SOLO OVER VERSE & CHORUS)
If there's a God in heaven, and I believe there is.
Help her find her way Lord, back to me again.
Please take these prayers and wishes, and lead me there some day.
To that church where they're all singing. That church across the way.
(CHORUS X 2)
