No depression in Heaven      (Listen to original song)

 

                           E

1. For fear the hearts of men are failing,

                          A                        E

    for these are latter days we know.

 

    The Great Depression now is spreading,

                             B7                       E

    God's word declared it would be so.

 

                    E

I'm going where there's no depression,

                     A                               E

to the lovely land that's free from care.

   

I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,

                         B7                          E

my home's in Heaven, I'm going there.

 

                          E

2. In that bright land, there'll be no hunger,

                         A                          E

    no orphan children cryin' for bread,

 

    no weeping widows, toil or struggle,

                              B7                      E

    no shrouds, no coffins, and no death.    + CHORUS

 

                       E

3. This dark hour of midnight nearing,

            A                      E

    tribulation time will come.

 

    The storm will hurl the midnight fears,

                               B7                     E

    and sweep lost millions to their doom.    + CHORUS
