[D]
There ain't no grave can hold my body down.
There [G] ain't no grave [A] can hold my [Dm] body down.
When I hear that trumpet sound, I'm gonna rise right out of the ground.
[G] Ain't no grave [Dm] can hold my body down.
Well, look way down the river, and what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels, and they're coming after me.
[G] Ain't no grave [Am] can hold my [Dm] body down.
[G] There ain't no grave [Am] can hold my [Dm] body down.
Well, look down yonder, Gabriel, put your feet on the land and see.
But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet till you hear from me.

Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me.
Meet me in the middle of the air.
And if these wings don't fail me, I will meet you anywhere.

There ain't [G] no grave [Am] can hold my [Dm] body down.
Well, meet me, mother and father, meet me down the river road.
And, mama, you know that I'll be there when I check in my load.
