[F] [Bbm]
[Db]
[Eb] [Fm] [Eb]
[Bbm] Early in the morning when the church bells toll, the choir's gonna sing [Db] and the hearse [Ab] will roll.
[F] On down [Bbm] to the graveyard where it's cold and grey, [Db] and then the sun's gonna shine [Ab] through the [Eb] shadows when [Bbm] I go away.
[Bb] Don't want [Bbm] no sorrow for this old orphan boy, I don't want no crying, [Db] only tears [Ab] of joy.
[F] Gonna see [Bbm] my father, gonna see my father, [Db] and I'll be bound for glory [Ab] in the morning [Eb] when [Bbm] I go away.
[Ab] I'll be lifting up through the clouds [F] on the wings [Bbm] of an angel.
[Ab] There's only flesh and bones in the ground where my couple [F] will stay.
See [Bbm] that star over yonder, it's gonna rain all day,

All my kin who love me, all my friends who care, I'll look beyond the dark clouds, [Db] we're gonna meet up [Ab]
there.
Let [F] me lay me in [Bbm]
cold brown, bow your heads in [Ab] prayer, [Bbm] [F] [Db] and I'll be bound for glory [Ab] in the morning [Bbm] when I go away.
