[A]
[E]
[A] [E] It was a sad day in the little town when they took the man away
For from his lips had come the truth that Jesus is [B] the way
And [E] like so many saints before him he [A] would die to speak [E] his name
He turned back to the faithful few [B] and victorly [E] he said
Where, why?
When [A] you're standing by [E] my grave
Where, why?
When [F#] it's a celebration [B] day
Where [E] I'm going there's no mourning And [A] for sure there is no night
I'm [E] going to a better [C#] country So [E] where, why?
When [A]
[E]
[A] [E] they knew that he meant heaven [A] And they knew he really [E] knew
That he would soon see Jesus up beyond [B] the blue
[E] That somewhere a band was playing in [A] a victory [E] parade
For another weary soldier [B] was coming home today
Well I have a hope of glory and [A] my name is in [E] the book
But sometimes it's so hard to see beyond where I [B] can look
[E] But I pray that when it's time to go [A] I'll look up to [E] the sky
And trusting in his righteousness [B] I'll look death in [E] the [Em] eye
[E] Where, why?
When you're standing by my grave
Where, why?
