[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab]
In a [Eb] country churchyard [Db] there's a preacher [Ab] with his people
[Db] Gathered all [Ab] around to join a [Eb] man and woman
[Ab] Spring is here [Eb] and turtle doves are singing [Fm] from the [Ab] steams
[Db] Bees are in [Ab] the flowers [Bbm] growing in the graveyard
[C] In a garden over [Fm] the hill where the [Bb] river meets the [Ab] mill
[Db] A lovely girl is coming down to [Bbm] give her hand upon her [Ab] wedding day
[Db] [Ab]
[Ab] Dressed in simple [Eb] white and wearing [Db] flowers in [Ab] her hair
[Db] Music as [Ab] she walked [Bbm] slowly to [Eb] the [Ab] altar
Picking up his [Eb] Bible [Db] then the preacher turns [Ab] towards her
[Db] Will you take [Ab] this man [Bbm] to be your [Eb] wedded husband
[C] To honor [Fm] and love in [Db] the eyes of [Ab] God above
[Db] Now let the people [Ab] sing with me [Bbm] these words to live forever in [Ab] your [Db] heart
[Ab]
[Eb] Let [Fm] your love
[Cm] [Db]
[Ab] [Fm] We are [Cm] the stars in [Db] the sky
[Eb] Let [Fm] your [Cm] [Db]
light [Ab] shine strong
[Db] Until the [Eb] day [Db] you fly
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] Many [Eb] years have fallen on [Db] that golden [Ab] country morning
[Db] [Ab] Graveyard's overgrown, [Bbm]
church [Eb] lies in [Ab] ruins
Ivy [Eb] on the walls and [Fm] ravens wheeling round [Ab] above me
[Db] As I made my way towards [Bbm]
the last [Eb] remaining [G] headstone
I [C] fell to my knees, [Db] read the lines beneath the [Ab] leaves
[Db] And suddenly it seemed to [Bbm] me I heard the words like singing [Ab] in the trees
[Bb] Let [Fm] [Cm] [Db]
[Ab] [Fm] your love
We [Cm] are the stars [Db] in the sky
[Eb] Let [Fm] your light [Cm] [Db]
[Ab] shine strong
[Db] Until [Eb] the day [Db] you fly
[Eb] We [Fm] [Cm] [Db]
[Ab] [Fm] are [Cm] the stars in [Db] the sky
[Eb] Let [F] your light [Cm] [Db]
shine [Ab] strong
[Db] Until the [Eb] day [Db] you fly
