The Old Account

(capo 3rd fret)

(verse 1)
        D                          
Well it was a time on earth when in
               D7
 the books of heaven
    G                D           
An old account was standing for 
E          A
sins yet unforgiven
    D                          
My name was at the top and many 
         D7
things below
        G             D      
But I went unto the keeper and 
    A              D
settled it long ago

      A                           
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago
D
 (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long
  D
 ago (hallelujah)
          D                        
And the record's clear today cause 
     G             D
he washed my sins away
                           A       
And the old account was settled 
   D
long ago

(verse 2)
          D                        
Well the old account was large and 
               D7
growin' every day
    G              D            E
And I was always sinnin' and I 
               A
never tried to pray
     D                             
But when I looked ahead and saw 
            D7
such pain and woe
        G              D      
Well I went unto the keeper and 
    A              D
settled it long ago

Long ago (down on my knees)

      A                           
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago
D
 (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long
  D
 ago (hallelujah)
          D                        
And the record's clear today cause 
     G             D
he washed my sins away
                           A       
And the old account was settled 
   D
long ago


(verse 3)
Now sinner seek the Lord repent of 
all your sins
Cause this he has commanded if you 
would enter in
And then if you should live a 
hundred years below
Well you know you got it settled 
cause you settled it long ago
Long ago (down on my knees)

      A                           
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago
D
 (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long
  D
 ago (hallelujah)
          D                        
And the record's clear today cause 
     G             D
he washed my sins away
                           A       
And the old account was settled 
   D
long ago
