Old Churchyard Chords

Key: D Verse I: G A D A Come, come with me to the old churchyard D A G I so well know these paths 'neath the soft green sward G A D A Friends slumber in there that we want to regard D G We will trace out their names in the old churchyard Chorus: D Mourn not for them for their trials are o'er G A Why weep for those who will weep no more? G A D A For sweet is their sleep, though cold and hard D G Their pillows may be in the old churchyard

Verse 2: G A D A I know it's vain when friends depart D A G To breathe kind words to a broken heart G A D A And I know that the joy of life is marred D G When we follow lost friends to the old churchyard Chorus: D But were I at rest 'neath yonder tree G A Why would you weep, my friends, for me? G A D A I'm so weary, so wayworn, why would you retard D G The peace that I seek in the old churchyard? Verse 3: G A D A Why weep for me, for I'm anxious to go D A G To that haven of rest where no tears e'er flow? G A D A And I fear not my fate when it's time to depart D A G I will sail with the sun in the old churchyard Chorus: D I rest in the hope that one bright day G A Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay G A D A And the trumpets will sound on the hills near and far D G Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard Chorus: D I rest in the hope that one bright day G A Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay G A D A And the trumpets will sound on the hills near and far D G Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard Outro: G A D A The trumpets will sound on the hills near and far D G Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
