| You saw me crying in the ch | apel, |
| C | |
| the tears I shed were tears of j | oy; |
| D7 | |
| I know the meaning of con | tentment, |
| G7 | C | F | C | |
| now I am happy with the Lo | rd. |

| Just a plain and simple ch | apel, |
| C | |
| where humble people go to pr | ay; |
| D7 | |
| I pray the Lord that I'll grow str | onger, |
| G7 | C | F | C | |
| as I live from day to | day. |
| F | C | |
| I've se | arched and I've searched but | I couldn't find |
| D7 | G7 | |
| n | o way on earth to gain peace of m | ind. |
| F | |
| Now I'm happy in the cha | pel, |
| C | |
| were people are of one acc | ord; |
| D7 | |
| We gather in the cha | pel, |
| G7 | C | F | C | |
| just to sing and praise the | Lord. |
| Every sinner looks for something, |
| that will put his heart at ease; |
| There is only one true answer, |
| he must get down on his knees. |
| Meet your neighbor in the chapel, |
| join with him in tears of joy; |
| You'll know the meaning of contentment, |
| then you'll be happy with the Lord. |
| You'll search and you'll search, |
| but you'll never find; |
| no way on earth to gain peace of mind. |
| Take your troubles to the chapel, |
| get down on your knees and pray; |
| Your burdens will be lighter, |
| and you'll surely find the way. |
