Verse 1:
   Ab          Ab              Db          Ab
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay
    Ab         Fm           Eb
And pensively stood by his tomb,
     Ab        Ab         Db             Ab
When in a low whisper I heard something say,
       Ab       Eb          Ab
"How sweetly I sleep here alone."

Verse 2:
      Ab          Ab            Db           Ab
"The tempest may howl, and the loud thunder roar
     Ab        Fm         Eb
And gathering storms may arise,
     Ab          Ab         Db         Ab
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul
     Ab            Eb            Ab
The tears are all wiped from my eyes."


Verse 3:
     Ab          Ab         Db             Ab
"The cause of my master compelled me from home,
     Ab       Fm        Eb
No kindred or relative nigh
  Ab          Ab         Db         Ab
I met the contagion and sank to my tomb;
    Ab            Eb         Ab
My soul flew to mansions on high."


Verse 4:
     Ab         Ab          Db           Ab
"Go tell my companion and children most dear
    Ab          Fm           Eb
To weep not for me, now I'm gone;
     Ab             Ab              Db          Ab
The same hand that led me through scenes most severe
      Ab     Eb       Ab
Has kindly assisted me home."
