      G                                       C/G

                 G                                   D 
        Where i left some childhood memories layin' round 
              G                              C/G 
        I can almost hear the singing,i can still remember praying 
                G                                D              G    
        At them old campground meetings eatin' chicken on the ground 

      G            D                        G 
        With them hallelujahs ringin',everybody shoutin',singin' 
                                                               D 
        Give me that old time religion,Jesus loves me,this i know 
              G                               C/G 
        When life was finger-lickin' good and God lived in our neighborhood 
                G                                D              C/G

Verse 2: 
      G                                       C/G 
        I can still remember feelin' all that happiness inside me 
                 G                                   D   
        When i praised the Lord and laid my burdens down 
                   G                              C/G      
        But that chicken must have tasted better than the word of God 
                         G                              D               G 
        'Cause it went slippin' through my fingers and rollin' on the ground

      G                             C/G  
        I reckon everyone of us can call back or remember 
                  G                                 D   
        When the taste and smell of youth was all around 
               G                         C/G  
        And i reckon in our own way everyone of us is payin' now 
             G                                   D            G 
        For eatin' chicken  and not listenin' to old Parson Brown
