Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 1
Beside a new -made grave,
heartbroken, (C major)
My love (G major) for her won't let me go away, (D major)
And (G major) leave her there to sleep forever (C major)
All alone (G major) beneath that
(D major) lonely mound of (G major) clay
Many the times I've looked for (C major) Calvin
And prayed (G major) she would never go away (D major)
This (G major) sinner's prayer was never (C major) answered
So she's (G major) sleeping beneath
that (D major) lonely mound of (G major) clay
Oh Lord why did you take her from (C major) me
Why didn't (G major) you take me away (D major)
So I (G major) could help you there be (C major) side her
All alone (G major) beneath that (D major) lonely
mountain (G major) plain (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
I'll stay beside you, darling (C major)
And I (G major) promise that I'll never go away (D major)
Until (G major) my life down here is (C major) over
Then we'll (G major) meet beneath
that (D major) lonely mound of (G major) clay
Oh Lord, why did you take her (C major) from me?
Why didn't (G major) you take me (D major) away?
So I (G major) could have been there be (C major) side her
All alone (G major) beneath that (D major) lonely mound of (G major) clay
