CRYING IN THE CHAPEL
By: Arthur Glenn
The Orioles, Elvis Presley


 5   5  -5  6   7  -7  8   -9  -9
You saw me cry-ing in the chap-el.
-9   -9   10 -9   9    -7   9   9 
The tears I shed were tears of joy
7   7  -7   9   -7   7  6   -5   -5
I know the mean-ing of con-tent-ment
-5  5 -5  6  5   -3   5    5
Now I am hap-py with the lord

  5 -5   6    7  -7   8   -9  -9
Just a plain and sim-ple chap-el
 -9   -9  10  -9   9  -7 9   9
Where hum-ble peo-ple go to pray
7  7   -7    8   -7   7    6     -5   -5
I pray the Lord that I’ll grow strong-er
5 -5  6    5   -3  5   5
As I live from day to day

5       -7    -7   -7     7*
I’ve searched and I’ve searched
-7  7   -7   7   -6*
But I could-n’t find
6   6  6    6
No way on earth
6   6    -5   5   -5
To gain peace of mind

5   -5   6  7  -7  8   -9  -9
Now I’m hap-py in the chap-el
 -9   -9  10  -9   9 -7  8   8    
Where peo-ple are of one ac-cord
7-7  8  -7  7  6   -5  -5 
We gath-er in the chap-el
 5   -5  6    5    -3    5    5   
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev’ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You’ll know the meaning of contentment
Then you’ll be happy with the Lord

Youll search and youll search
But you’ll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you’ll surely find the way
