                           G    A
You saw me crying in the chapel
                                D
The tears I shed were tears of joy
                          E7     A7
I know the meaning of contentment
                        D   G   D
Now I'm happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

         G              Gm
Well, I searched and I searched
    D           Bm
But I couldn't find
E7
No way on earth
   A7
To find peace of mind

Chorus:
                       G   A
Now I'm happy in the chapel
                           D
Where people are of one accord
                        E7  A7
Yes, we gather in the chapel
                             D
Just to sing and praise the Lord

              G                 Gm
Well, you'll search and you'll search
     D            Bm
But you'll never find
Em
No way on earth
    A7
To find peace of mind

Chorus:
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Take your troubles to a chapel
And you'll surely find the way
