Chorus:

G+G          D7D7       G+G
There's a little rosewood casket

G+G          D7D7     G+G
Resting on a marble stand

G+G           C majorC      G+G
With a packet of old love letters

D7D7                 G+G
Written by my true love's hand

G+G             D7D7    G+G
Go and bring them to me, sister

G+G          D7D7      G+G
Read them o'er for me tonight

G+G         C majorC       G+G
I have often tried by could not

D7D7                G+G
For the tears that filled my eyes

D7D7                G+G
When I'm dead and in my casket

D7D7           G+G
When I gently fall asleep

G+G         C majorC       G+G
Fall asleep to wake in heaven

D7D7            G+G
Dearest sister do not weep

D7D7      G+G    D7D7    G+G
Take his letters and his locket

G+G         D7D7        G+G
Place them gently on my heart

G+G           C majorC          G+G
But this golden ring that he gave me

D7D7             G+G
From my finger never part

Chorus
