[Bm] [F#m] [E] [Bm]
[A] Doug, [E] you [F#m] and Melvin come here quickly.
[Bm] Bring Mr.
Joe Legon with you.
Oh, [E] y'all don't want to hear this.
[A] [G#]
[A] What I'm thinking about, [E] [F#m] their lost loved one,
the [Bm] young man that sang,
[E] Jesus keep me near the cross.
[A] [Bm] With [A] the Mississippi Men's Choir.
[E] Frank William [F#m] went down to Savannah, Georgia [Bm] to sing his last song.
He [F#m] told the [E] preacher in the choir, he said,
last [Bm] night [A] I couldn't sleep.
[E] He said I had to get up [F#m] and read my Bible [Bm] and talk to God.
But that led to the one [F#m] thing,
[E] that God won't let nothing slip up on [A] his people.
Can I get a witness?
[E] Can I get a witness?
Can [F#m] I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
[Bm] The next [E] morning, [Bm] Frank [A] went to the airport.
[E] Getting ready to go [F#m] back to Jackson.
But it's a strange thing to me,
when he got [Bm] to the airport,
there was a [E] train waiting for [Bm] him there.
[A] He looked at the airplane.
[E] He looked [F#m] at the train.
He said, if I take the plane,
[Bm] I've got to go back to Jackson.
[F#m] And I'll see [E] trouble there.
But you know what he did?
[A] He stepped on that train.
[E] He rolled on.
[F#m] And there we go.
[Bm] I feel [E] the rain, [A] and he was gone.
[E] Yeah, [F#m] yeah.
[A]
[Bm] I feel [E] the rain, and [D] he [A] was gone.
[E] I [F#m] just closed my eyes, and [Bm] when I woke up and looked around.
[E] [A] [Bm]
[A] He was [E] gone.
He [F#m] was gone.
He was gone.
[Bm] [E] Oh, yeah.
[A]
I don't [C#m] know about you, but [F#m] just like him,
one of these old [A] days, I'm [Bm] going to meet him up there.
I'm going to [E] meet him up there.
I'm going to see him again.
I'm going to see [A] him again.
[E] See him again.
[F#m] See him again.
See him again.
[Bm] Oh, yeah.
[E] No doubt.
Some [A] of y'all can go [C#m] home tonight.
[F#m] Somebody got a loved one.
[E] Somebody got a [Bm] mother.
Somebody got [A] a father.
[E] Clap your hands.
You [Bm] know you got a loved one.
[A] Yes, sir.
Go on.
[C#m] [F#m] They're going home.
Oh,
[Bm] Sunday.
[F#m] [E] Sunday.
It's all right.
[A]
Somebody got [E] a loved one.
They're going [F#m] home.
[Bm] Ain't it good to know that one of these old days.
[E] Ain't it good to know that [A] one of these old days.
We're going to see him again.
[C#m] We're going to see him again.
[F#m] We're going to see him [A] again.
Oh.
[Bm] [E] Oh.
I [Bm] know we're going to [A] see him again.
[E] I love [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[Bm] you.
[E] [A] [Bm]
[A] [E] [F#m] [A] [Bm]
[E] I know one thing.
Catch him.
[Bm] Oh, no.
[A] [C#m] [F#m] I used [F#m]
[Bm] to sing [F#m] here with [E] me.
I got you.
How many [Bm] believe I'm going to [A] see him again.
Yeah.
[E] I [F#m]
[Bm] [F#m] got to slip [E] around.
[Bm] And he [A] was gone.
Never [E] gone.
So [F#m] many singers.
Yeah.
[Bm] I think about another man who was mine.
[E] Yeah.
Many remember [A] Robin Q and his cheeks.
[E] Yes, sir.
I [F#m] loved him one day.
Look around.
[E]
[Bm] Look around.
Look [E] around.
One
[A] [C#m] more.
[E] [F#m] Somebody here might remember.
How do I [Bm] concede.
Yeah.
I'm free.
[E] One day I look [A] around.
[Bm] He was [A] gone.
But [E] I think I'll [F#m] never see him.
Go all the [Bm] way to the top.
Ain't gone.
Yeah.
[F#m] [E] Yeah.
[Bm]
[A] Gone.
