3/4 measure [Intro] | C | G | C | C | [Verse 1]
C
At first when I heard of some people who claim

                               G      G7
That the old time religion was real

  C                           F
I said; "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd"

     C              G        C
"For just that weak minded I feel"
[Verse 2]
C
I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door

                                  G7
But the devil said: "Don't you go in!"

      C                            F
But I said: "It won't hurt me I'll just step inside"

         C          G         C
And I've set as far back as I can
[Chorus]
C
But something got a hold of me (praise God)

                            G      G7
Yes something got a hold of me (oh Lord)

  C                                           F
I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night

    C               G       C
God certainly got a hold of me
[Verse 3]
C
They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands

                                G   G7
I said: "It's commotion, that's a-a-all"

          C                           F
When they get down to pray, I'll just get up and leave

            C        G            C
For I don't wanna be seen here at all
[Verse 4]
C
But I bowed that time, he got started to preach

                                     G7
And he looked right straight down at me

   C                  F
He told everybody how mean that I was

          C            G               C
He didn't talk like he thought much of me
[Verse 5]
C
I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'er

                             G
And then they all started to pray

    C                        F
The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor

  C                G           C
I prayed there and God had his way
[Chorus]
C
For something got a hold of me (praise God)

                            G      G7
Yes something got a hold of me (oh Lord)

  C                                           F
I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night

    C               G          C
God certainly got a hold of me-e..
