D/F# Am C D/F# Am By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread Am C 200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side D/F# Am C D/F# Am The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light Chorus 1 D Am Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries C Am The day is almost over, soon it will be night D Am Em We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore F C C Em Am Em Am We promise not to stray again from our cabin door Verse Am C Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and eerie dream D/F# Am C D/F# Am He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream Am C He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log D/F# Am C D/F# Am For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God Chorus 1 Verse Am C A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek D/F# Am C D/F# Am But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east Am C With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene D/F# Am C D/F# Am And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree Chorus 2 D Am Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry C Am We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side D Am Em As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord F C C Em Am Em Am Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
