[G] [C]
Angels tired of being lonely
Came [F] and took mine, one and only
When they lay sweet Cora in [G] her grave
[Em] [G] [C] Everywhere I loved their [C] sorrow
There [F] can be no joy tomorrow
For all the sins [C] they lay sweet [G] Cora in [C] her grave
At the church I kept repeating
[F] She's not dead, she's only sleeping
On [C] my knees I prayed, I pleaded, [G] and I cried
God [C] decided he should take her
[F] All my tears could not awake her
And [C] they
[G] led me to [C] her side
Today friends, we're gathered here in this [F] tiny chapel
To say goodbye for the last time
[C] To a young lady that we've all known and loved for twenty years
And [G] maybe just a little more
A [C] young lady that we've all loved dearly
[Am] But not nearly [F] as much as one young man among us who now sits weak
[C] A young man who would gladly give his [G] life
If he could just hear that sweet voice again
But you know friends, all of his crying and all of his tears
Can't change [F] God's plan
And though her passing has brought upon his young [C] life great sorrow
If he has faith, if he [G] believes that on some golden glad tomorrow
Oh, they'll meet again [C] friends, and they'll walk together
And they'll talk together, make [F] plans just like they did down here
The little time they spent [C] together here on earth
Would be but a moment compared to all eternity
They've spent together upon heaven's golden shore
[G] She was all [F] I ever [C] wanted
[G]
Up in heaven she [C] will shine
Here on earth I'll [F] be so lonely
[G]
Now is it [B] [G] mine
[C]
Angels tired of being lonely
Came [F] and took mine, one and only
When they lay sweet Cora in [G] her grave
[Em] [G] [C] Everywhere I loved their [C] sorrow
There [F] can be no joy tomorrow
For all the sins [C] they lay sweet [G] Cora in [C] her grave
At the church I kept repeating
[F] She's not dead, she's only sleeping
On [C] my knees I prayed, I pleaded, [G] and I cried

[G]
Up in heaven she [C] will shine

[G]
Now is it [B] [G] mine
