[D]
[G]
Way back in the hills, when [C] a boy I [G] once wondered, buried deep in her grave, [A] lied the girl [D] that I loved.
She was called from [G] this earth, [C] a jewel [G] for heaven, more precious than diamonds, [D] more precious [G] than gold.
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in [D] heaven, she'll brighten the kingdom [A] around the [D] great throne.
Raving angels [G] howled, peace, [C] God bless her [G] in heaven.
They broken my heart and [D] they left me [G] to roam.

When she was sixteen, we [C] courted [G] each other.
She promised someday to [A] become [D] my sweet wife.
So I bought her [G] the ring to [C] wear on [G] her finger.
But the angels, they called her [D] to heaven [G] one night.
A jewel here on earth, [C] a jewel in heaven, [D]
[G] she'll brighten the kingdom [A] around God's [D] great throne.
Raving angels [G] howled, peace, [C] God bless [G] her in heaven.
They broken my heart and they left me to roam.
[D]
[G] This earth has its ways, [C] its trials [G] and troubles.
Mother earth holds her treasures [A] of diamonds [D] and gold.
But it can't hold [G] the soul [C] of one precious jewel.
[G] She's resting in peace with [D] the heavenly [G] foe.
A jewel here on earth, [C] a jewel in heaven, [A]
[G] she'll brighten the kingdom [A] around God's [D] great throne.
Raving angels [G] howled, peace, [C] God bless her [G] in heaven.
They broken my heart and they [D] left me to [G] roam.
