Verse 1
(G major) Here I stand by this chilly water
waitin’ for my final call
Standing by the river
looking beyond (D major)
Gazin’ toward the (G major) land of fadeless
beauty o’er the surges rise and fall
Standing by the river
looking beyond
Verse 2
Standing by the river (G major) waiting
for the boatman
Listen to the music on
the other (D major) shore
(G major) I can hear the angels singing out
a welcome
With my friends and loved ones
