🎸 Verse 1:
          A
There's a land beyond the river
          D                 A
That they call the sweet forever
                                           E
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
                          A
One by one we'll gain the portals
         D                A
There to dwell with the immortals
                   D      A         E       A   D   A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

🎸 Chorus:
          D
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
          A
Don't you hear the angels singing
                               E   D  C#m7  E7
'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee
        A
In that far off sweet forever
        D               A
Just beyond the shining river
                   D      A         E7      A   D   A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me


🎸 Verse 2:
         A
We shall know no sin or sorrow
        D           A
In that heaven of tomorrow
                                              E
When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea
                        A
We shall only know the blessing
       D                 A       D
Of our Father's sweet caressing
          A        D      A         E7      A   D   A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me


🎸 Bridge:
           D
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
           A
Don't you hear the angels singing

'Tis the glory hallelujah      Jubilee


🎸 Outro:
        A                A7
In that far off sweet forever
       D                A
Just beyond the shining river
                   D      A         E7      A   D   A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
         A
When our days shall know their number
        D                 A
When in death we sweetly slumber
                                        E   D  C#m7  E7
When the King commands the spirit to be free
     E                 A
Nevermore with anguish laden
         D                 A
We shall reach that lovely Eden
                   D      A         E7      A   D   A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
                   D      A         E       A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
