"Three Chords And The Truth" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

I was starting to sing
Hear the church bells ring
Three chords and the truth
Donegan was king
I said Give me something
That I can use
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

When the band comes through
Then you know what to do
Got to play the blues
Three chords and the truth
I woke up in the morning
And I heard the good news
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
Got to do everything
Hear the church bells ring
Donegan was king
I woke up in the morning
Before I went to school
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
Baby, that I can use
Woke up in the morning
And I [learned?] the good news
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
Baby, you got to move
Three chords and the truth
Got to stay in the groove
When your feet start dancing
And you just got nothin' to lose
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

[Outro:]
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
