C                        Dm
You saw me crying in the chapel,
                                C
The tears I shed were tears of joy;
                         D7
I know the meaning of contentment,
G7                        C      F  C
Now I am happy with the Lord.
                        Dm
Just a plain and simple chapel,
                            C
Where humble people go to pray;
                                  D7
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger,
G7                    C     F  C
As I live from day to day.


[Bridge]
       F                            C
I've searched and I've searched but I couldn't find
 D7                               G7
No way on earth to gain peace of mind.
                     Dm
Now I'm happy in the chapel,
                          C
Where people are of one accord;
                 Dm
Yes, we gather in the chapel,
G7                          C     F  C
Just to sing and praise the Lord.

 
[Verse 2]
C                      F
Every sinner looks for something,
                           
That will put his heart at ease
                       D7
There is only one true answer
G7                      C      F  C
He must get down on his knees.
                          Dm
Meet your neighbor in the chapel,
                          C
Join with him in tears of joy;  
                              D7
You'll know the meaning of contentment,
G7                            C     F  C
Then you'll be happy with the Lord.


[Bridge]
       F                 F7          C
You'll search and you'll search, but you'll never find
 D7                              G7
no way on earth to gain peace of mind.
                          Dm
Take your troubles to the chapel,
                           C
Get down on your knees and pray;
                     D7
Then Your burdens will be lighter,
G7                         C     F  C
And you'll surely find the way.
