OLD ACCOUNT
INTRO:
A-----------------------------------|
E-0-2-4--4444-0-2--2222--4-2-0------|
 E         
Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven 
 A                     E          B7      
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven  
     E     
My name was at the top and many things below  
    A                  E          B7            E         
But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago 
CHORUS:
      B7                     E
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)  
 E                                    B7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)  
           E                             A            E           
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away  
                           B7         E
And the old account was settled long ago  

      E  
Well the old account was large and growin' every day  
    A               E            B7     
And I was always sinnin' and I never tried to pray  
     E 
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe  
     A                 E           B7            E           
Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago CHORUS:

       E
Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins  
 A                    E         B7
Cause this he has commanded if you would enter in  
E
And then if you should live a hundred years below  
 A                          E                 B7            E
Well you know you got it settled cause you settled it long ago  
CHORUS:
      B7                     E
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)  
 E                                    B7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)  
           E                             A            E           
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away  
                           B7         E
And the old account was settled long ago
