Bb


[Verse 1]
Bb
At the completion of the Golden Gate,
        Eb
No, the angels did not celebrate
             D7                     Gm
And when the Wright boys flew their bird
     C7                F7
No angelic shouts were heard.



[Chorus]
             Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
             Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
            D                Gm        C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F                        Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!


[Verse 2]
Bb
Now, when the light bulb first lit up the town,
        Eb
No, the angels did not dance around
             D7                 Gm
And when the man stepped on the moon
            C7             F
They didn't sing a victory tune.


[Chorus]
             Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
             Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
            D                Gm        C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F                        Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!



[Verse 3]
                    Eb
Now, Heaven doesn't strike up the band
               Bb
For any old occasion at hand,
                Eb
It's gotta be a special thing
   C                 F
To make those Angels sing.



[Verse 4]
              Bb
Now, when the model T first hit the street
          Eb
It didn't bring all Heaven to its feet
             D                  Gm
And when the first computer was born
            C              F
They didn't blow Gabriel's horn.


[Chorus]
             Bb
There's only one thing that we're sure about
             Eb
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
            D                Gm        C7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
F                        Bb
That's when the angels rejoice!



[Verse 5]
              Eb
Now, when the United States became a nation
          Bb
There was no angelic celebration,
         C               Ebm        C
But when one lost sinner comes back home
     F             G7
They jump for joy around God's throne.


[Chorus]
             C                    C7
There's only one thing that we're sure about
             F
That's gonna make those angels jump and shout:
            E                Am       D7
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice,
G                           C   A7
That's when the angels rejoice!


[Outro]
D7              G7          C   A
That's when the angels rejoice!
D               G           C
That's when the angels rejoice!
