{c: }
[G] You saw me crying in the [Am] chapel,
The tears I shed were tears of [G] joy.
I know the meaning of con-[A7]tentment,
[Cm] Now I am [D7] happy with the [G] Lord. [C] [G]  
Just a plain and simple [Am] chapel,
Where humble people go to [G] pray.
I pray the Lord that I'll grow [A7] stronger,
[Cm] As I [D7] live from day to [G] day. [C] [G7]  
 
I've [C] searched and I've [Cm] searched 
but [G] I couldn't [Em] find
No [A7] way on earth to gain peace of [D7] mind.
Now I'm happy in the [Am] chapel,
Where people are of one a-[G]ccord (one accord)
Yes, we gather in the [Am] chapel,
[Cm] Just to [D7] sing and praise the [G] Lord. [C] [G] 
 
You'll [C] search and you'll [Cm] search, 
but [G] you'll never [Em] find
no [A7] way on earth to gain peace of [D7] mind.
Take your [G] troubles to the [Am] chapel,
Get down on your knees and [G] pray (knees and pray)
Then Your burdens will be [A7] lighter,
[Cm] And you'll [D7] surely find the [G] way 
(And you'll surely find the way)

Song Info

Title: Crying In The Chapel

Artist: Elvis Presley

Writer: Artie Glenn

Song Types: Pop

Key: G

Info: "Crying in the Chapel" is a song written by Artie Glenn and recorded by his son Darrell Glenn. The song was released in 1953 and reached number six on the Billboard chart.

The song has also been recorded by many artists including the Orioles and June Valli, but the most successful version was by Elvis Presley, whose recording reached number three in the US, and number one in the UK in 1965.

On October 31, 1960, Elvis Presley cut a version of the song with plans to put it on his RCA gospel album His Hand in Mine. Three takes were recorded, but neither Elvis nor the Jordanaires, who provided background vocals, were satisfied. Eventually, it was decided to shelve the recordings and move on.

On April 6, 1965, "Crying In the Chapel" was issued on RCA's "Gold Standard Series." It became Elvis' first million seller since "Return to Sender" in 1962 and his greatest chart success over a six-year span. The single hit number three on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and topped the Easy Listening chart for seven weeks. It was later included as a bonus track on Presley's 1967 gospel album, How Great Thou Art.

Presley's version also was a hit in the United Kingdom, where it spent two non-consecutive weeks at number one
