Verse 1
B
I stopped in front
of a little church
as I was passing by.
E
B
The door was open, it was almost dark,
E
and I heard a voice from inside.
B
There a man was praying,
F#
and I remember his every word.
And as I stood and listened closely,
B
this is what I heard.
He said, now,
E
I don't want to be a bother, Lord,
B
E
but I sure am feeling blue.
B
Reckon you could change your
F#
schedule just a little bit
B
and call me on home too.
And I want to thank you especially, Lord,
for sending her my way.
E
Yes, sir, I know my thanks are
just a little bit late
B
E
Because she was laid to rest today
B
And without her, Lord, I am so alone
F#
I don't know what in the
world I'm gonna do
B
So if it's all the same to you, Lord
E
Could you just call me on home, too?
B
Then through the shadows
this old gentleman
E
Walked slowly down the steps
B
F#
Then feebly crossed the churchyard
B
Leaning on his cane for help
And as he tried to kneel again
He fell across a grave so new
E
The Lord had heard his humble prayer
B
And called him on home too
E
B
I often go back to that little church
And kneel down and say a prayer
F#
Then I place flowers
on those two graves
B
Cause he rests beside her there
E
And as I kneel to thank my God
B
Not for the two best friends I ever had.
E
B
My tears flow freely on those two graves.
F#
B
One my mother and the other my dad.
