SONG OF SOLOMON Holy Bible Old Testament album chords by The Statler Brothers Guitar Chords

[Intro]
G G G

[Verse]
G
The Lord appeared to Solomon
D
And asked him in his dream
D
Just what would you want
G
If I would grant you anything

G
King Solomon said to the Lord
D
On riches I won’t dwell
D
Just grant to me the wisdom Lord
G
To lead Your people well

G
When he woke the Lord had blessed
D
The throne on which he sat
D
And nobody ever caught him
G
Sleepin’ after that

G
People heard about him
D
And came from far and wide
D
He’d lay his words of wisdom on
G
And open up their eyes

[Chorus]
G
And didn’t Solomon have it all together?
D
Didn’t Solomon lead his people well?
G
Didn’t Solomon have all together?
G
Don’t his words ring clearly as a bell?

[Instrumental]
G G G D G E

[Verse]
A
Two women came to Solomon
E
Both had given birth
E
I’m troubled though dear kindly king
A
Please help me said the first
A
One night while I lay sleeping
E
This womans baby died
E
She laid it’s body on my bosom
A
Trading it for mine

A
The other woman said to him
E
That it was not true
A
And Solomon said bring the child
A
I’ll tell you what we’ll do
A
We’ll divide him with a sword
E
And half to each disperse
E
The real mother cried, oh, no
A
Just give the child to her

[Outro]
A
And didn’t Solomon have it all together?
E
Didn’t Solomon lead his people well?
A
Didn’t Solomon have all together?
A
Don’t his words ring clearly as a bell?
A
Didn’t Solomon have it all together?
