Key: D^b/D

Verse I:

        D^b                       B/D^b                          G^b/D^b                   D^b  

The memories that I cherish most are the scenes of Sunday night;

                 B^bm2                                B^bm2/A^b          E^b9              G^b/A^b

When the preacher gave all that he had to give to lay it on the line

                        D^b                  B/D^b               G^b/D^b              D^b

There was conviction in the altars and compassion in the pews

                          B^bm2              B^bm2/A^b                   E^b9                         G^b/A^b

Oh, how much farther will we walk away from that path that has been proved?

Chorus:

                           D^b                B   G^b                            A^b                         B^bm  F

(We’ve go to…) Ask for the old paths, we‘ve got to search to find the tru - th

                         B^b                       B^b7/A^b

And when the fashions of this day are gone

        E^b7

The old path still goes on and on

D^b                          E^bm            D^b/A  A^b7 D^b

Ask, we’ve got to ask for the o   -   ld    path

Verse II:

         D^b                            B/D^b                         G^b/D^b              D^b  

This road is straight and narrow and you may have to walk alone

              B^bm2                             B^bm2/A^b             E^b9                  G^b/A^b

And the world will think you’re such a fool to forsake the easy road

       D^b                  B/D^b           G^b/D^b                        D^b

But faithful is His promise to those who reach the goal

               B^bm2                         B^bm2/A^b           E^b9                       G^b/A^b

And the road you’ve traveled for so long will some day turn to gold
