Chords for Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer - The Old Church Yard (Cecil Sharp House, London, 05/03/2013)

_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _

_ _ _ _ Come, come [Ab] with me to the [Fm] old _ [Eb] churchyard.
[Ab] I so well know those paths [Db] beneath the soft green swarf.
_ Friends in [Ab] there that [Fm] we once did [Eb] regard,
[Ab] We will trace out their names in [Db] the old _ churchyard. _ _ _
[Ab] Mourn not for them, for their trials are o'er,
[Eb] And why [Db] weep for those [Ab] who would weep no [Eb] more?
[Db] For sweet [Ab] is the sleep, [F] though cold [Eb] and hard,
[Ab] Their pillows laid deep [Db] in the old _ churchyard.

[Db] _ _ _ _ I know that [Ab] it's vain when our friends depart
To breathe kind words [Db] to a broken heart.
And I know that [Ab] the joy of [Fm] life [Eb] it is more
[Ab] When we follow those friends to [Db] the old _ churchyard.
_ _ [Ab]
But were I at rest beneath yonder tree,
_ [Eb] Why [Db] would you weep, [Ab] my friends, [Eb] for me?
[Ab] I'm so weary, and o'er, why would you retard
The peace that I seek in [Db] the old _ churchyard?

_ Why weep [Ab] for me?
Cause I'm ready to go
To that haven of rest where [Db] no tears ever flow.
And I fear not to [Ab] enter [Fm] that dark, [Eb] weary tomb
Where [Ab] our Savior has lain [Db] and conquered the gloom.
_ _ [Ab] I rest in the hope that one bright [Eb] day
_ Sunshine [Dbm] will burst through [Ab] this blazing [Eb] of clay
[Db]
And [Ab] Gabriel's trumpet and the voice [Eb] of the Lord
They will [Ab] wake up the dead in [Db] the old _ churchyard.
