Eb         C+       C7  Fm
I got up on Sunday morning, went to the church at ten,
   Bb7                           Eb
I listened to the words that I’d heard time and time again;
    Ab                                  Eb                Cm
The preacher spoke of sinful lives, it seemed he spoke of mine,
           Fm          Bb7        Eb
But I was young, I had plenty of time.

[Verse 2]
         Eb              C+       C7    Fm
I walked on down life’s pathway, living as I wished to live,
       Bb7                           Eb
Out to beat the other fellow, out to get what life could give;
       Ab                          Eb           Cm
Making money is not sinful, having fun is not a crime,
             Fm              Bb7       Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.

[Chorus]
 Ab       Bb7       Eb             Fm
Plenty of time to decide where I’m bound,
    Fm7     Bb7        Eb
To eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown;
 Ab         Bb           Eb         Cm
I’m just a young man not yet in my prime,
             Fm              Bb7       Eb
So I’ll just wait, I’ve got plenty of time.

[Verse 3]
       Eb              C+        C7     Fm
Before I knew what had happened life’s scenes had passed away,
    Bb7                                    Eb
And millions stood before God’s throne for it was judgment day;
     Ab                                Eb               Cm
Now eternal darkness beckons, and the name it calls is mine,
       Fm            Bb7       Eb
But I thought I had plenty of time.

[Chorus 2]
  Ab      Bb7             Eb        Cm
Eternity waits, I’ve got plenty of time,
    Fm7             Bb7          Eb
To think of all the days Christ could have been mine;
Ab           Bb            Eb              Cm
My chance is over, earth’s days are left behind,
            Fm           Bb7       Eb
And here am I, I’ve got plenty of time.

              Fm          Bb7       Eb4    Eb
Now I’ve got nothing but plenty of time.
