Plenty Of Time

         Eb         C+       C7  
I got up on Sunday morning, went to 
Fm
the church at ten,
   Bb7                           
I listened to the words that I’d 
Eb
heard time and time again;
    Ab                             
The preacher spoke of sinful lives,
     Eb                Cm
 it seemed he spoke of mine,
           Fm          Bb7     
But I was young, I had plenty of 
   Eb
time.

[Verse 2]
         Eb              C+    
I walked on down life’s pathway, 
   C7    Fm
living as I wished to live,
       Bb7                         
Out to beat the other fellow, out 
  Eb
to get what life could give;
       Ab                          
Making money is not sinful, having 
Eb           Cm
fun is not a crime,
             Fm              Bb7  
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty
     Eb
 of time.

[Chorus]
 Ab       Bb7       Eb            
Plenty of time to decide where I’m
 Fm
 bound,
    Fm7     Bb7        Eb
To eternal darkness or to a heavenly
 crown;
 Ab         Bb           Eb      
I’m just a young man not yet in 
   Cm
my prime,
             Fm              Bb7  
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty
     Eb
 of time.

[Verse 3]
       Eb              C+     
Before I knew what had happened 
   C7     Fm
life’s scenes had passed away,
    Bb7                        
And millions stood before God’s 
            Eb
throne for it was judgment day;
     Ab                          
Now eternal darkness beckons, and 
      Eb               Cm
the name it calls is mine,
       Fm            Bb7       Eb
But I thought I had plenty of time.

[Chorus 2]
  Ab      Bb7             Eb     
Eternity waits, I’ve got plenty 
   Cm
of time,
    Fm7             Bb7       
To think of all the days Christ 
   Eb
could have been mine;
Ab           Bb            Eb   
My chance is over, earth’s days 
           Cm
are left behind,
            Fm           Bb7    
And here am I, I’ve got plenty of 
   Eb
time.

              Fm          Bb7     
Now I’ve got nothing but plenty of
  Eb4    Eb
 time.
