Verse 1
Lie (G major) up nearer, brother, (C major) nearer,
For (G major) my limbs are growing cold, (D major)
And Thy (G major) presence (G minor) seemeth (C major) nearer
When Thine (G major) arms around me fold
(G minor) I (G major) am dying, brother, (C major) dying
Soon you'll (G major) miss me in your (D major) birth
For my (G major) form will soon be (C major) lying
Neath the (G major) ocean's briny surf
Oh, my children, heaven bless (C major) them
They recall (G major) my life to (D major) me
Would I (G major) could once more caress (C major) them
Here I (G major) sing, meet (D major) the (G major) sea (C major) (G major)
T 'was for them I crossed the (C major) ocean
What my (G major) hopes were, I'll not (D major) say
But I'd (G major) gain an orphan's (C major) portion
As we (G major) said, I'm (D major) on my (G major) way
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Till I never reached the (C major) haven
where I (G major) saw the precious dust. (D major)
But I (G major) have gained a port called (C major) Heaven
Where the (G major) gold will (D major) never (G major) run you
