Written by: Artie Glenn Recorded by: Elvis transcribed by bill evans, bevans@austin.cc.tx.us C F You saw me crying in the chapel, C the tears I shed were tears of joy; D7 I know the meaning of contentment, G7 C C now I am happy with the Lord. F Just a plain and simple chapel, C where humble people go to pray; D7 I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger, G7 C C as I live from day to day. F C I've searched and I've searched but I couldn't find D7 G7 no way on earth to gain peace of mind. F Now I'm happy in the chapel, C were people are of one accord; D7 We gather in the chapel, G7 C C just to sing and praise the Lord. Every sinner looks for something, that will put his heart at ease; There is only one true answer, he must get down on his knees. Meet your neighbor in the chapel, join with him in tears of joy; You'll know the meaning of contentment, then you'll be happy with the Lord. You'll search and you'll search, but you'll never find; no way on earth to gain peace of mind. Take your troubles to the chapel, get down on your knees and pray; Your burdens will be lighter, and you'll surely find the way.
