[Em]
[Bm] [B]
[G] [Em]
When I go from [A] this life, let me go [Em] in peace.
I don't [G] want your marvels [Em] at my head and feet.
[D] Don't [Em]
[G] gather [Em] around [G] me just to weep [Em] and [D] moan.
[Em]
For where [C] that [Am] I'm going, I [Em] won't be alone.
The flowers you [Am] give me, please [Em] give them today.
[D]
[Em] Don't waste [G] our beauty on cold [Em] lifeless clay.
[G]
[Em] One rose [G] with love, oh it could do [Em] so much [D] good.
[Em] I think [Am] all would give [C]
[Am] in if they just [Em] understood.
[D] God
[Em] gives [Am] life freely, [Bm]
[Am] then he [Em] takes away [D]
[Em] what we do [G] for each [C] other.
[G] Oh let us do [Em] it today.
We have [G] no promise [Em]
[C] [G] that tomorrow [Em] will [D] come.
[Em] Don't sing [G] my [A] [C] praises [Em]
[Am] after [Em] I'm gone.
[D]
[Em] When life has [A] [Am] departed, it's not me [Em] anymore.
[D]
[Em] Just a [G] form that has [C] suffered,
[G] a still heart that [Em] was [D] sold.
[Em] For the soul that [G] has [C]
[G] blossomed, oh it don't need you [Em] anymore.
So let it go [A] [Am]
freely to [G] God's
[Em] evermore.
