[Bbm]
[Db] When I was a child, [Bbm] I recall an [Ab] old man.
[Db] Everybody loved [Bb] old Zeke.
[Ab]
[Db] He was all alone.
[Bbm] His family [Ab] was gone.
[Db] One day he [Bb] said to me, [Ab]
[Db] I'm just sitting here thinking [Ab] about [Db] Jesus rocking his [Bbm] motorchair crease.
[Db] Some glad day [Bbm] I'll [Ab] fly away [Db] when Jesus comes calling [Bb] for [Ab] me.
[Db] It might be today, it might [Ab] be [Db] tomorrow, maybe one day [Bbm] next week.
[Db] I'll soon be done [Bb] with trouble [Ab] and [Db] sorrow when he comes calling [Bbm] for [Ab] me, [Db] when Jesus [Fm] comes
calling [Db] for me.
[Gb] When I die, [Db] don't grieve and cry.
Lord, he don't feel sorry [Bbm] for me.
Oh, what a day, [Db] what a mighty fine day.
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when Jesus comes calling for [Bbm] me, [Db] when he [Ab] comes
[Db] calling for me.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Db] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Db] I might be in the graveyard walking, talking to my [Bbm] family.
[Db] Or I might be [Bbm] plowing in the [Ab] field down [Db] yonder, just old Muley and [Ab] me.
[Db] Wherever I am, whatever [Ab] I'm a [Db]-doing, some sweet [Bbm] day I'll see.
[Db] A band of [Bbm] angels in a [Db] cloud of glory when Jesus comes [Bbm] calling for [Db] me, when [Ab] he comes
[Db] calling for me.
[Gb] When I die, [Db] just close my eyes and lay beneath the [Bbm] willow tree.
Oh, what a day, [Db] what a mighty fine day when Jesus comes calling for [Bbm] me, [Db] when Jesus [Ab] comes
[Db] calling for me.
[Bbm] [Db] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Db] I'm just sitting here watching for Jesus, rocking as my [Bbm] old chair creaks.
[Db] Some sweet day I'll [Ab] fly away [Db] when Jesus comes [Bbm] calling for me, [Db] when [Ab] he comes calling for
[Bbm] me.
