The Angels Rejoiced Last Night

	  		



Intro: A D   


A house, not a home 

Was the picture Satan painted 
    G                       D 
For sweet little sister and me 



Our daddy would frown 

While mother was praying 

His heart was so hardened 
A              D 
He would not believe 


              D7 
In anger he'd swear 
    G              D 
His voice cold and loud 

His Sundays were spent 
                      A  
Out with the gambling crowd 


     D 
I've never seen my daddy 
  G               D 
Inside a house of god 
          
For Satan held his hand 
         A              D 
Down the path of sin he trod 



Not long ago 

Our circle was broken 
     G                        D 
When god called on mother one night 

In a voice sweet and low 

Her last words were spoken 

Asking our daddy 
   A                  D 
To raise her children right 


             D7        
The angels rejoiced 
   G           D 
In heaven last night 

I heard my daddy pray 
                   A 
"Dear god, make it right" 
       D 
He was smiling and singing 
     G            D 
With tears in his eyes 

While mother with the angels 
  A           D          
Rejoiced last night 


INTERLUDE:    G    D     A   D    


             D7        
The angels rejoiced 
   G           D 
In heaven last night 

I heard my daddy pray 
                   A 
"Dear god, make it right" 
       D 
He was smiling and singing 
     G            D 
With tears in his eyes 

While mother with the angels 
  A           D          
Rejoiced last night 

While mother with the angels 
  A           G     D 
Rejoiced last night___
