[Verse 1]
G
There's a mighty good book and it tells a story

                  D
It's a bible on a shelf

                G
Oh you know the names and you know the stories

                      D   G
Have you ever read it for yourself?
[Chorus] It's a mighty good book It's a mighty good book
                           D
Of the man who died on the way

                   G
It's a mighty good book
It's a mighty good book
                 D    G
And it's just as true today
[Verse 2] For it tells of the hill in land of Zion
                                  D
Where they took a man who made no crime

                 G
While the wicked watched and the women were cryin'

              D         G
And the sun refused to shine
[Chorus] It's a mighty good book It's a mighty good book
                           D
Of the man who died on the way

                   G
It's a mighty good book
It's a mighty good book
                 D    G
And it's just as true today
[Verse 3] Now there's gonna come a day when you go to glory
                                   D
And you're gonna hear the master's call

              G
Are you gonna wish you read the story

              D       G
Of when Jesus paid it all?
[Chorus] It's a mighty good book It's a mighty good book
                           D
Of the man who died on the way

                   G
It's a mighty good book
It's a mighty good book
                  D   G
And it's just as true today
Well, it's a mighty good book It's a mighty good book
                 D     G
And it's just as true today
