[F] [G]
[C] [Am] [Bm]
[C]
[F]
Come, come [C] with me [Am] to the old [G] churchyard
I [C] so well know that path, [F] need the soft green sward
Friends in [C] there that [Am] we once [G] did regard
[C] We can trace out their names [F] in the old churchyard
[C]
Mourn not for them, for their trials are o'er
[Am] And why weep [F] for those who [C] will weep no [Em] [G] more?
[F] For sweet is [C] their sleep, [Am] though cold [Em] and hard
[C] Their pillows lay deep [F] in the old churchyard
[G] [Am]
[G] I [F] know that [C] it's vain when [Am] our friends [G] depart
[C] To breathe kind words to [F] a broken heart
And I know the [C] joy [Am] of life [G] is marred
When [C] we follow our friends to [F] the old churchyard
But [C] were I at rest, near the under tree
[Am] Why would [F] you weep, my [C] friends, for [G] me?
I'm [F] so weary [C] in mourning, [Am] why won't you [G]
retard
[C] The peace that I seek [F] in the old churchyard
[G] Why
[Am] [G]
[F] weep [C] for me, [Am] for I'm ready [G] to go
To [C] that haven of rest where [F] no tears there flow
And I fear not [C] to enter [Am] that dark [G] lonely tomb
[C] Where our savior has lain [F] unconquered the gloom
[C] I rest in the hope that one bright day
[Am] Sunshine [F] will burst through this [C] prison of [G] clay
[F] And [C] Gabriel's trumpet and [Am] the voice [G] of the Lord
[C] Will wake up the dead in [F] the old churchyard
