[Eb]
[Ab] His deeds were never published for [Db] the public.
[Eb] Things he did were never done [Ab] for show.
His name was never printed [Db] in the paper
[Eb] Until about two [Ab] days ago.
He only filed a short form [Db] for his taxes.
[Eb] No one asked him how he felt [Ab] about the war.
He always had a good word [Db] for his neighbor.
[Eb] Now his good word won't be [Ab] heard anymore.
And through the rain I heard the choir [Db] singing.
[Ab]
Dear [Db] old
[Ab]
Through the mist I saw some [Db] children crying.
And I [Eb] felt dearer, my [Ab] God do thee.
[Eb] [Ab]
His table was never [Db] full of plenty.
[Eb] His silverware was never the [Ab] real thing.
But the tears on the faces [Db] of his family
[Eb] Were just as real as if he'd [Ab] been a king.
The preacher said he'd always [Db] been a good man.
[Eb] But preachers always throw that [Ab] phrase around.
But the tears I tasted gave his [Db] words new meaning.
[Eb] Watching old friends put daddy [Ab] in the ground.
And through the rain I heard the choir [Db]
singing.
[Ab] Dear [Db] [Ab]
[Cm] [Ab] old
Through the mist I saw some children [Db] crying.
And I [Eb] felt nearer, my God [Ab] do thee.
[Db] Nearer [Ab] to thee, [Db] nearer [Ab] [Eb] to thee.
[Ab] Through my tears I saw some children crying.
