(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
I (G major) was strolling one
day in a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tombs seemed to (D major) say,
I once (G major) lived as you lived,
walked and talked as you talked,
But from (E minor) earth I (G major) was (D major) soon called away. (G major)
Oh, those tombs, lonely tombs,
Seemed to say in a low, gentle tone, (D major)
Oh, (G major) sweet is the rest
In our beautiful heavenly (D major) home (G major)
Every voice from the tomb
Seemed to whisper and say,
You must soon follow me (D major)
And I (G major) thought as I looked
On them cold marble slabs
What a dark, place (D major)
That must (G major) be
Oh, those two ladies
Lonely, two ladies
Seem to say (D major) in a (G major) low, gentle tone (D major)
Oh, (G major) sweet, how sweet is the regalest in our
beautiful heavenly (D major) home. (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
Then I came to the place where my mother was laid,
and in silence I stood by her (D major) tomb.
Then her (G major) voice seemed to say,
in a low gentle tone,
And I am (E minor) safe (G major) with my
(D major) Saviour at (G major) home.
All those tunes, lonely tunes,
Seem to say in a low gentle tone, (D major)
Oh, how (G major) sweet is the rest
In our beautiful heavenly (D major) home. (G major)
you
