Legend Of The Big Steeple
Recorded by Porter Wagoner
Written by Charles Underwood


C G7
There's a legend about a church in our town
C
The steeple so high seen for miles around
F
Look on the hill and you'll realize
C G7 C
The steeple's too big for the churches size

F C
It seems it was a long time ago when this church had no steeple
D7 G7
Just four walls and the roof overhead sheltered the humble people
C
But the money was short cause the times were bad
F C
They had to get along on what they had
G7 C
Just good simple people praying for a steeple

G7
About this time when spring was near a man of wealth
C F
And his sweetheart dear made their plans for the bells to ring
C G7 C
They would wed on the first of spring

F C
So this man of wealth and his true love dear named the wedding hours
D7 G7
They would wed in the little church the one that had no tower
C F C
But he was the kind and generous man he told his true love of his plan
G7 C
How to build a steeple for these good people

F C
Yes they'll have their steeple the bells there will ring
G7 F C
They'll ring for our wedding on the first day of spring
G7
But they say death comes like a thief
C
And soon his heart was filled with grief
F C G7 C
One week before the wedding day he learned his love had passed away

F C
In spite of his grief and broken heart he kept the promise given
D7 G7
I'll build the steeple so my love can hear the bells in heaven
C F C
Then he built the steeple there the tallest one in all the land
G7 C
That's how the people got their steeple
F C
Well that is the reason the steeple lives so high
G7 F C
And why the bells ring louder when springtime is nigh
