[G] The next scene was a crowded court-[D7] room And like strangers, we sat side by [G] side Then I heard the judge make his decis-[C] ion And no [D7] longer were we man and [G] wife. I hate the sight of that courtroom Where man-made laws push God's laws aside Then the clerk wrote our story in the record A Church, A Courtroom And Then Goodbye. We walked from that courtroom together We shook hands and once again we cried Then it was the end of our story A Church, A Courtroom And Then Goodbye.
