Verse 1
(A minor) And he cast it down, (F sharp minor)
(A minor) down on the green grass,
Over the young croncuses
(D major) where (A minor) the dew was.
he cast the garment of his flesh
that was full (G minor) (C major) of (A minor) death, (D major)
(F sharp minor) and (A minor) like a sword his (F sharp minor) spirit
(F sharpdim) showed (A minor) out of the cold sheep.
(G minor) He (F sharp minor) (F sharpdim) went a (A minor) place or two,
he (G minor) went to meet his Lord, (A minor)
And, (G minor) as I said, (A minor)
his (B flat minor) spirit looked like a clean sword,
And seeing him,
the naked trees began shivering,
And all the (G sharp minor) birds cried out aloud
as (C sharp major) it her name (G sharp minor) sprang. (C sharp major) (G sharp minor)
(G minor) And the Lord (F sharp minor) (A minor) came on,
he came (G minor) down,
and saw (F sharp minor) that (A minor) a soul was
(F sharp minor) wait ing there (B minor) for (G minor) him,
One without flaw, (D major)
(G minor) And they em (F sharp minor) braced (A minor) in (F sharp minor) the churchyard
(B minor) Where the (F sharpdim) robins play,
And (A minor) the daffodils hang down their heads
As they burn away.
The Lord held his head fast,
and you could see that he kissed the unsheathed
(B flat major) ghost that was (F minor) gone (Ddim) free.
(F minor) As a hot (Bdim) sun (F minor) on (G sharp minor) a March (F minor) day
(G sharp minor) kisses the (F minor) cold ground,
And (G minor) the (A minor) Spirit answered,
for he knew well that his peace was found.
The spirit trembled (D major) (A minor) an d sprang
up (D major) at the Lord's (A minor) word,
As on a wild April (F sharpdim) (A minor) day (C major)
(A minor) springs a small (D major) (A minor) bird, (G minor)
(D major) So the (A minor) ghost's (G minor) (F sharp minor) feet lift (A minor) ing him (G minor) up,
(D major) He kissed (A minor) the lord's (F sharpdim) cheek,
(A minor) An (G minor) d for the (A minor) (C minor) greatness
of (A minor) their love,
Neither of them could speak.
(F sharp minor) But the Lord went then
to show him the way
Over the young crocuses
under the green May,
(G major) that was not quite in (A minor) flower yet,
To a far (F sharp minor) dis (F sharpdim) tant (A minor) land. (F sharpdim) (F sharp minor)
(A minor) And the ghost followed like
a naked cloud
Holding the sun (A minor) 's
