[Verse 1]
Db Db
Come, come with me to the old churchyard
Db Db* Db
I so well know those paths 'neath the soft green sward
Db Db
Friends slumber in there that we want to regard
Db Db Db
We will trace out their names in the old churchyard
[Refrain]
Db Db
Mourn not for them, for their trials are o'er
Gb* Db
Why weep for those who will weep no more
Gb* Db Db
For sweet is their sleep, though cold and hard
Db Db
Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
[Verse 2]
Db Db
I know that it's vain when our friends depart
Db Gb
To breathe kind words to a broken heart
Db Db
And I know that the joy of life is marred
Db Gb Db*
When we follow lost friends to the old churchyard
[Refrain]
Db Db
But were I at rest 'neath yonder tree
Gb* Db* Db
Why would you weep, my friends, for me
Gb* Db* Db
I'm so weary, so wayworn, why would you retard
Db Gb
The peace I seek in the old churchyard
[Bridge]
Ab* Db* Ab*
Why weep for me, for I'm anxious to go
Db Gb
To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow
Bbm* Ab* Db* Db
And I fear not my fate when it's time to depart
Db* Gb Db
I will set with the sun in the old churchyard
[Refrain]
Db Db
I rest in the hope that one bright day
Gb* Db
Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay
Gb* Db Db
The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
Db* Gb Db
Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
[Refrain]
Db Db
I rest in the hope that one bright day
Gb* Db
Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay
Gb* Db Db
The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
Db* Gb Db
Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
[Outro]
Db Db
The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
Db Db Db
Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
