The Building Chords by Emily Ann Roberts

[Intro]
G  Am G
 
 
[Verse]
 G     Am        G
I can't help but wonder 

if these floorboard creaked
     C        G
the same in '42 
               D           Em   
When my great grandpa his heart
               Am7     
and soul into preachin' 
          D
the good news
           G       Am      
And these tattered old red 
 G               C                G
hymn books have caught a tear or two
             D                     Em
'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, just as
                  Am7         Dsus4 D
I am, without the spirit movin' you
          Am7   G       C    
If those altars at the front
       G   D
could testify I know they'd say
    Am7   G        C       G
It never once got old hearing 
   D
a sinner call His name
 
 
[Chorus]
            C
I know the stained glass 

never saved a soul
          Am7             
And these pews ain't on the 
                  G
roll that's caaalled up yonder
            C
I know the pulpit's 

just a wooden stand
         Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
        G                D   
As His glory filled the place 
              Em7
with awe and wonder
   Em               Am7          
I know it's just a building, 
                 Dsus4  D
plain and simple white
 
              Am7          
But it's the building where 
 D7               G   Am G
Jesus changed my life
 
 
[Verse]
          G                    
It never claimed to be the biggest, 
        C              G
nobody ever called it cool
                   D           Em  
But it's where my mama met my daddy
     Am7           D
at vacation bible school
               G       Am    
It's been the picture-perfect
  G         C                G
dream of a thousand glowin' brides
                D      
It's heard the weeping 
        Em
as the loved ones laid 
   Am7                D
to rest with sad goodbyes
 
 
[Chorus]
                C
And I know the stained glass 

never saved a soul
          Am7           
And these pews ain't on 
                       G
the roll that's called up yonder
            C
I know the pulpit's just a 

wooden stand
         Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
        G                D   
As His glory filled the place 
              Em
with awe and wonder
   D                Am7      
I know it's just a building, 
                 Dsus4 D
plain and simple white
              Am7         
But it's the building where 
 D                G
Jesus changed my life
 
 
[Bridge]
      C       Em
It's where I learned that 

Jesus hears my prayers
          B
And he's walkin' with me everywhere
        D                G  
And no matter what I've done 
        A
I know I'm loved
    Am7     Am   D
I'm always loved
           G           Am     G
I know it won't stand here forever
               C                  G
But I'll sure miss it when it's gone
         D           Em
And I'll be forever grateful
    Am        C         G
To call that church my home
 
 
[Chorus]
            C
I know the stained glass 

never saved a soul
           Am                 
And these pews ain't on the roll 
              G
that's calleeeed up yonder
            C
I know the pulpit's just a 

wooden stand
         Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
        G                D  
As His glory filled the place 
             Em
with awe and wonder
   D                Am     
I know it's just a building, 
                 Dsus4 D
plain and simple white
              Am7   
But it's the building 
       D            Em
where Jesus changed my life
 
 
[Outro]
          Am        
It's the building where 
 D                G
Jesus changed my life
