[Ab] [Db]
Come, [Ab] come with me to the old churchyard,
Past the well, those paths beneath [Db] the soft green swamp.
Friend [Ab] in there that [Fm] we [Db] once did [Ab] regard,
We will trace out their names [Db] in the old churchyard.
[Ab] More not for them, for the trials are o'er,
[Db] And widely for those [Ab] who would weep no more.
[Db] For sweet [Ab] is the sleep, [Fm] though [Db] cold [Ab] and hard,
Their pillows lay deep in [Db] the old churchyard.

I know that [Ab] it's late, and [Fm] our friends need [Eb] pardon,
[Ab] To breathe kind words to [Db] the broken heart.
But [Ab] the joy [Fm] of life it [Eb] is marred,
When [Ab] we follow those friends [Db] to the old churchyard.
[Ab] Love, Mariah, and rest beneath the undurned tree,
[Db] Why would you leave [Abm] my friends [Eb] for me?
[Db] I'm so weary [Ab] in here.
Why would [Db] you [Ab] return the peace that I seek [Db] in the old churchyard?

[Db] [Fm] [Eb] [Ab] Why
[Db] [Ab] weep for me?
Cause I'm ready [Eb] to go [Ab] to that haven of rest [Db] where no tears ever flow.
And I fear [Ab] not to enter that dark [Eb] weary tomb,
[Ab] Where our Savior has lain [Db] and conquered the gloom.
[Ab] I rest in the hope that in one bright [Fm] day,
Sunshine [Db] will burst through this [Ab] [Eb] prison of [Db] grey.
And [Ab] Gabriel's trumpet [Fm] and the voice [Eb] of the Lord,
[Ab] They will wake up at that end in [Db] the old churchyard.
