Verse
 E minorEm                          D MajorD
In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground

   A/C#A/C#         E minorEm       D MajorD      A/C#A/C#     E minorEm
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town

 E minorEm                          D MajorD
The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind

    A/C#A/C#        E minorEm          D MajorD     A/C#A/C#     E minorEm    B minorBm    E minorEm
While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side

Verse
 E minorEm                           D MajorD
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead

   A/C#A/C#         E minorEm          D MajorD     A/C#A/C#      E minorEm
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread

 E minorEm                         D MajorD
200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side

   A/C#A/C#             E minorEm         D MajorD       A/C#A/C#     E minorEm
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light


Chorus 1
  A augmentedA           E minorEm
Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries

             D MajorD         E minorEm
The day is almost over, soon it will be night

 A augmentedA                 E minorEm          B minorBm
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore

  C majorC        D MajorD       G+G     B minorBm    E minorEm    B minorBm   E minorEm
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door


Verse
 E minorEm                             D MajorD
Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and eerie dream

   A/C#A/C#       E minorEm            D MajorD     A/C#A/C#     E minorEm
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream

 E minorEm                             D MajorD
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log

   A/C#A/C#           E minorEm           D MajorD    A/C#A/C#      E minorEm
For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God

Chorus 1
Verse
 E minorEm                              D MajorD
A augmentedA thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek

   A/C#A/C#          E minorEm          D MajorD     A/C#A/C#    E minorEm
But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east

 E minorEm                           D MajorD
With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene

   A/C#A/C#        E minorEm         D MajorD      A/C#A/C#      E minorEm
And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree


Chorus 2
  A augmentedA            E minorEm
Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry

               D MajorD        E minorEm
We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side

 A augmentedA                  E minorEm         B minorBm
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord

 C majorC          D MajorD     G+G     B minorBm     E minorEm    B minorBm   E minorEm
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
