G 
The best
C 
G 
friend I had was a lady
D 
G 
who lived in a house on the hill.
C 
G 
She nursed me when I was a baby
D 
G 
and cared for me when I was ill.
C 
G 
She sat beside me in si lence
D 
G 
and placed her cool hand on my brow
C 
G 
She'd kneel by my bed there beside me,
D 
G 
her kind loving face I see now
C 
G 
As the stars shine above in the twilight
D 
G 
and the light from her window shines dim
C 
G 
She sits there alone of an evening,
D 
G 
just waiting for me to come in
C 
Her hair it was just turning silver,
G 
D 
G 
her teeth they shone like the pearl
C 
Her soft eyes would sparkle
G 
like diamonds,
D 
G 
she's the best friend I had in this world
C 
G 
She gave me a frame and her picture,
D 
G 
This hangs on a nail on the wall.
C 
G 
Other pictures I have I love dearly,
D 
G 
But her picture I love most of all.
C 
G 
For me now this world's sad and lonely,
D 
G 
When passing the old home at night.
C 
The light doesn't shine
G 
from her window,
D 
G 
for she passed away one summer's night
C 
G 
We laid her to rest in the churchyard,
D 
G 
fond memories of her haunt me still
C 
The best friend I had was
G 
my mother,
D 
G 
who lived in a house on the hill you
