Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Grandma  slicked my hair  down
 I synched  up my belt
I  can still remember
 How that polyester  felt
Townsfolk  all a tremble
 They know  what labors for
 As the preacher  takes the pulpit
 And the ushers  shut the door
 (Instrumental Break-Intro Chords)
Came  into this crazy  world
 Around  19 and 68
Fathered  by a crazy  kid
 With nothing  on his plate
Daddy  got in trouble
 Yeah Daddy  did some time
 It was visiting  day in the penitentiary
 Is where  I learned to cry
 Yeah. We were singing  those hymns
 Over and over  again
 Sunday morning,  Sunday evening Wednesday nights
Never  understood it all
 That well  back then
 But it probably  saved my life
 Yeah. We were singing  those hymns
 Over and over  again
 Sunday morning,  Sunday evening Wednesday nights
Never  understood it all
 That well  back then
 But it probably  saved my life
  (Instrumental Break-Solo)
 Chords:
 
  (Back Into Intro Chords)
Summertime  I lived with Grandma
 Where I learned  the golden rule
 Or some  southern variation
 Called vacation  bible school
I  never got in trouble
 I was just lucky  I suppose
 I was  never quite an angel
 Even in  those Sunday clothes
 Yeah. We were singing  those hymns
 Over and over  again
 Sunday morning,  Sunday evening Wednesday nights
Never  understood it all
 That well  back then
 But it probably  saved my life
 Yeah. We were singing  those hymns
 Over and over  again
 Sunday morning,  Sunday evening Wednesday nights
Never  understood it all
 That well  back then
 But it probably  saved my life
 It probably  saved my life
 It probably  saved my life
