Key: A augmentedA

✝ Verse 1:
     A augmentedA          D MajorD          A augmentedA          E MajorE
There’s a little grave on the green hillside that lies to the morning sun
    A augmentedA          D MajorD           E MajorE          A augmentedA
And the way worn feet often wander there when the cares of the day are done
  D MajorD          A augmentedA                  E MajorE
We sometimes sit in the twilight fall and talk of a far off land
    A augmentedA           D MajorD         E MajorE          A augmentedA
And we sometimes feel in the twilight there the touch of a vanished hand



✝ Chorus:
              E MajorE
Grave on the green hillside grave on the green hillside
    A augmentedA           D MajorD         A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA
In the years to come we will calmly sleep in a grave on the green hillside

✝ Verse 2:
                D MajorD          A augmentedA         E MajorE
And this land is full of these little graves in the valleys plains and hills
      A augmentedA         D MajorD        E MajorE        A augmentedA
There’s an angel too for each little grave an angel procession fills
 D MajorD         A augmentedA                       E MajorE
I know not how but I sometimes think that they lead us with gentle hand
   A augmentedA         D MajorD          E MajorE         A augmentedA
And a whisper falls on a willing ear from the shore of a far off land


✝ Chorus:
              E MajorE
Grave on the green hillside grave on the green hillside
    A augmentedA           D MajorD         A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA
In the years to come we will calmly sleep in a grave on the green hillside

✝ Verse 3:
                D MajorD         A augmentedA         E MajorE
And these little graves are but wayside marks that point to a far off land
     A augmentedA           D MajorD        E MajorE         A augmentedA
And they speak to the soul of a better day of a day that’s near at hand
     D MajorD              A augmentedA                    E MajorE
Though we first must walk through the chartless fields yet Christ will be our guide
    A augmentedA          D MajorD           E MajorE          A augmentedA
We will reach the shore of a far off land through a grave on a green hillside

In the years to come we will calmly sleep in a grave on the green hillside
