My granddaddy [F] was my childhood [C] hero, always has been [C] and will be, though he's gone [G] away.
And [C] on the night we lost him, [F] I swore [C] I heard him [Am] speak to me [C] softly [G] in his peaceful [C] voice
I say, son I had a good life, [F] and I had [C] a good wife, [F] good parents, [C] good children, good grandchildren [G] too.
But [C] they're calling the roll now, [F] and I just [C] heard my name, [A] it's my time [C] so I must [G] say
goodbye to [C] you.
[A] Now [C] I'm standing [F] on top of [C] the mountain, [F] free [C] from any pain and peril [G] before,
[A] [C] where the
arms of the angels [F] shall carry [C] me away to, [A] the arms of [C] my savior [G] on his golden [C] shore.

Son, I did not die, [F] that was just my [C] old body, [F] the one bound [C] by burden that once belonged to [G] me.
[C] Son, one day you'll find me [F] alongside my [C] Lord Jesus, [A] and his [C] holy kingdom [G] is where I will [C] be.
So when you feel the wind blow, [F] that will be [C] my breath, [F] so don't cry [C] on my grave, don't
you mourn [G] me gone, for I'll [C] always be there with you, [F] smiling right [C] beside you, [A] and I'll
be right [C] here waiting [G] to welcome [C] you home.
[G] [A] Yes, son, [C] I stood way up high [F] on top of [C] that mountain, [F] free from [C] any pain and peril [G] before,
[C] where the arms of the angels [F] carried [C] me away to, [A] the arms of [C] my savior [G] on his golden [C] shore.
