Somethin' Got A Hold Of Me
Hank Williams (with Audrey Williams)



C
At first when I heard of some people who claim
                               G
That the old-time religion was real
  C                          F
I said "I’ll go down, take a look at the crowd
    C              G        C
For just that weak minded I feel."



C
I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door,
                                  G
But the Devil said, "Don’t you go in!"
      C                             F
But I said, "It won’t hurt me, I’ll just step inside,
         C          G         C
And I’ll set as far back as I can." 



Chorus:

C
Somethin' got a hold of me, praise God!
                             G
Yes, somethin' got a hold of me, oh Lord!
  C                             F
I went there to fight, but I’ll tell you that night,
    C               G       C
God certainly got a hold of me.


C
They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands,
                                G
I said, "It’s commotion, that’s all."
           C                           F
"When they get down to pray, I’ll just get up and leave,
    C                G            C
For I don’t wanna be seen here at all."


C
But about that time, he got started to preach,
                               G
And he looked straight down at me.
   C                  F
He told ev’rybody how mean that I was,
   C                   G               C
He didn’t talk like he thought much of me.


C
I sat in my seat just thinkin’ it o’er
                             G
And then they all started to pray
    C                        F
The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor
  C                G           C
I prayed there and God had his way. 



Repeat Chorus

I've heard this song all my life....esp. when I was younger and I didn't know Hank wrote it. The chorus sounds a little different from the way I remember...but it's a good old song. Thanks for tabbin' it.
