Greg, this song's lyrics have already been sent in to you, but here are
the chords for it.  I went ahead and wrote in the word "Armageddon" in
the lyrics, but when Hank sang the word, it came out "Ambegotten."  I
guess maybe he heard an old southern minister pronounce it that way or
something.

The Battle of Armageddon

Key: D

(D)There's a mighty battle coming and it's well now on it's way.
It'll be fought at Armageddon, it shall (A)be a sad, sad (D)day.
In the Book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
There'll be gathered there great armies for that (A)battle on that (D)day.

All the way from the gates of Eden, to the (G)Battle of Armageddon
There's been (D)troubles and tribulation, there'll be (E)sorrow and des(A)pair.
He has (D)said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal, when you (A)dwell with Him at (D)last.

Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from (E)one to thirty-(A)three.
In our (D)Savior's blessed words He said on earth He prophesied,
Oh, He spoke of this great battle that is (A)coming by and (D)by.

All the way from the gates of Eden, to the (G)Battle of Armageddon
There's been (D)trials and tribulation, there'll be (E)sorrow and des(A)pair.
He has (D)said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal, when you (A)dwell with Him at (D)last.

There'll be nation against nation, there'll be wars and rumors of war.
There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the (E)sun, the moon, the (A)stars.
Oh, the (D)hearts of been shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will receive it, mercy (A)at the Savior's (D)feet.

All the way from the gates of Eden, to the (G)Battle of Armageddon
There's been (D)troubles and tribulation, there'll be (E)sorrow and des(A)pair.
He has (D)said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal, when you (A)dwell with Him at (D)last.
