words and music by Mitch McVicker
G Bm
Jim came walkin' down the road
C G
Singin' songs and hummin' on hymn tunes
G Bm C D
Though he'd never set foot in a church on Sunday morning
G Bm C
The smile on his face looked kinda outta place
G
Considerin' the looks of his shirt and shoes
G C G
Made me wonder what kept him going
G Bm
Spent most of his lonely young days
C G
Working' downtown in the sawmill
G Bm C D
And a childhood is somethin' he's never known
G Bm C
All the extra time he had on his mind
G
Every now and then his heart would spill
G C G
And he'd start singin' all the way home
Chorus
Am D
And he'd sing I, I don't know much
Am D
But I know a Love
G Bm C
And one day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
D G
Sippin' lemonade, love lives there
G Bm C
Round 'bout that time the bells chimed
G
And the church doors flew open
G Bm C D
And a whole herd of saints came runnin' along Jim's way
G Bm C
Talkin' 'bout salvation, hope and love
G
And everything else they didn't know about
G C G
And when they saw Jim all of that changed
G Bm C
Now it takes a special kind of man
G
To avoid a confrontation
G Bm C D
And everywhere Jimmy looked he had nowhere to go
G Bm
They started throwin' out names,
C G
Throwin' punches, and throwin' laughter
G C G
And when they were through, blood was drippin' from his nose
Chorus
Am D
And he sang I, I've heard about blood
Am D
I think it stands for Love
G Bm C
And one day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
D G
Sippin' lemonade, loves lives there
G Bm C
Now Jim knew what he had inside of him
G
And wouldn't hear nothin' different
G Bm C D
The moral to the story is he just keeps on keepin' on
G Bm
Now he ain't whitewashed,
C G
You won't find him on the corner prayin'
G C G
He just knows his Love and knows his song
Chorus
Am D
And he sings I, I got all I want
Am D
'Cause I've got my love
G Bm C
And one day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
D G
Sippin' lemonade, love lives there
G Bm C
Yeah, one day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
D G
Sippin' lemonade, love lives there
G Bm C
Yeah, one day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
D G Bm C D G
Sippin' lemonade, love lives there
