The Old Churchyard Chords by Offa Rex

_ _ _ _ Come, [A] come with me out to the old churchyard, I so [D] well know those poets meet the soft greens
For friends slumber [A] in there that we want to regard, [D] We will trace out their names [G] in
the old [D] churchyard, More not for them their trials, and why we
bother no _ more, For sweet [A] is their sleep, though cold and
hard, [D] Their clothes may be in the old churchyard,
And I know [A] that it's vain when our friends depart,
[D] To breathe kindness [G] to a broken heart, [D] And I know [A] that the joy [D] of life [A] is marred
[D] When we call our lives [G] to the old churchyard, [D] But worse _ need the old grief, oh why we
weep, Why would you weep more for me, I'm so weary, [A] so aware, [D] why would [A] you retard
[D] The peace I seek [G] in the old [D] churchyard, _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ Why weep for a man just to die, To that haven
[G] of rest, [D] When our tears [A] overflow, [Bm] and I fear not [A] to enter [D] that dark [A] lonely tomb,
Where our [D] saviour has lain and our song filled with _ [Bm] gloom,
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But I _ know that _ in the sunshine we'll burst the seasons [A] of clay,
[D] And old [A] Gabriel's trumpet [D] and the voice [A] of the Lord,
[D] Will wake up the dead [G] in the old churchyard.
