Emmylou Harris The Angels Rejoiced written by Ira Louvin

Gram Parsons Charlie Louvin

Bb

A house not a home was a picture satin painted

Eb Bb

For sweet little sister and me

Our daddy would frown while mother was praying

F Bb

His heart was so hardened that he would not believe

Bb7 Eb Bb

In anger he'd swear his voice cold and loud

Bb F

His Sundays were spent out with the gamblin crowd

Bb Eb Bb

I've never seen my daddy inside a house of God

F Bb

For Satin held his hand down the path of sin he trod

SOLO

Bb

Not long ago our circle was broken

Eb Bb

When God called on mother one night

Bb

In a voice sweet and low her last words were spoken

F Bb

Asking our daddy to raise her children right

Bb7 Eb Bb

The angels rejoiced in heaven last night

Bb F

I heard my daddy praying dear God make it right

Bb Eb Bb

He was smiling and singing with tears in his eyes

Bb F Bb

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night

F Eb Bb

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night
