Lucy Kaplansky - The Angels Rejoiced Last Night


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: A D  


A house, not a home

Was the picture Satan painted
    G                       D
For sweet little sister and me



Our daddy would frown

While mother was praying

His heart was so hardened
A              D
He would not believe


              D7
In anger he'd swear
    G              D
His voice cold and loud

His Sundays were spent
                      A 
Out with the gambling crowd


     D
I've never seen my daddy
  G               D
Inside a house of god
         
For Satan held his hand
         A              D
Down the path of sin he trod



Not long ago

Our circle was broken
     G                        D
When god called on mother one night

In a voice sweet and low

Her last words were spoken

Asking our daddy
   A                  D
To raise her children right


             D7       
The angels rejoiced
   G           D
In heaven last night

I heard my daddy pray
                   A
"Dear god, make it right"
       D
He was smiling and singing
     G            D
With tears in his eyes

While mother with the angels
  A           D         
Rejoiced last night


INTERLUDE:    G    D     A   D   


             D7       
The angels rejoiced
   G           D
In heaven last night

I heard my daddy pray
                   A
"Dear god, make it right"
       D
He was smiling and singing
     G            D
With tears in his eyes

While mother with the angels
  A           D         
Rejoiced last night

While mother with the angels
  A           G     D
Rejoiced last night___
