[F] I left my home way back in the [C] mountains, Mother and [Gm]
[C] Father had both [F] passed away.
We followed our Mother up to [C] the graveyard, For Mother was called to [F] Heaven that day.
Mother's not dead, she's only [C] asleep, Just patiently waiting for [F] Jesus to come.
The birds will be singing while Mother [C] lasts even, They will sing over as the [F] grandkids will lay.

[F]
[Dm] Oh how we [F] missed her round [C] the old home place, Everything seemed so long since she [F] went away.
Mother is asleep way back in the [C] mountains, Mother is asleep way back in [F] the hills.
Mother's not dead, she's only [C] asleep, Just patiently [Em]
[C] waiting for [F] Jesus to come.
The birds will be singing while Mother [C] lasts even, They will sing over as the grave sinks [Em] away.
[F] [Fm]
[C] Father had both [F] passed away.
We followed our Mother up to [C] the graveyard, For Mother was called to [F] Heaven that day.
Mother's not dead, she's only [C] asleep, Just patiently waiting for [F] Jesus to come.
The birds will be singing while Mother [C] lasts even, They will sing over as the [F] grandkids will lay.
