Eb C+ C7 Fm
I got up on Sunday morning, went to the church at ten,
Bb7 Eb
I listened to the words that I’d heard time and time again;
Ab Eb Cm
The preacher spoke of sinful lives, it seemed he spoke of mine,
Fm Bb7 Eb
But I was young, I had plenty of time.
[Verse 2]
Eb C+ C7 Fm
I walked on down life’s pathway, living as I wished to live,
Bb7 Eb
Out to beat the other fellow, out to get what life could give;
Ab Eb Cm
Making money is not sinful, having fun is not a crime,
Fm Bb7 Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.
[Chorus]
Ab Bb7 Eb Fm
Plenty of time to decide where I’m bound,
Fm7 Bb7 Eb
To eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown;
Ab Bb Eb Cm
I’m just a young man not yet in my prime,
Fm Bb7 Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.
[Verse 3]
Eb C+ C7 Fm
Before I knew what had happened life’s scenes had passed away,
Bb7 Eb
And millions stood before God’s throne for it was judgment day;
Ab Eb Cm
Now eternal darkness beckons, and the name it calls is mine,
Fm Bb7 Eb
But I thought I had plenty of time.
[Chorus 2]
Ab Bb7 Eb Cm
Eternity waits, I’ve got plenty of time,
Fm7 Bb7 Eb
To think of all the days Christ could have been mine;
Ab Bb Eb Cm
My chance is over, earth’s days are left behind,
Fm Bb7 Eb
And here am I, I’ve got plenty of time.

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