  Ab
There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heaven,
  Db Ab Bb Eb
An old account was standing, for sins yet unforgiven.
  Ab
My name was at the top, and many things below,
  Db Ab Ab/Eb Eb Ab
I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago.
CH1
  Eb Ab Eb
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago.
  Ab Db Ab
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away,
  Ab/Eb Eb Ab
When the old account was settled long ago.
V2
  Ab
The old account was large and growing every day
  Db Ab Bb Eb
For I was always sinning and never tried to pay
  Ab
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
  Db Ab Ab/Eb Eb Ab
I said that I would settle settled long ago.
CH2
  Eb Ab Eb
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago.
  Ab Db Ab
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away,
  Ab/Eb Eb Ab
When the old account was settled long ago.
VS3
  Ab
Oh sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin,
  Db Ab Bb Eb
For thus He hath commanded, if you would enter in;
  Ab
And then if you should live, a hundred years below,
  Db Ab Ab/Eb Eb Ab
Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.
CH3
  Eb Ab Eb
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago.
  Ab Db Ab
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away,
  Ab/Eb Eb Ab
When the old account was settled long ago.
