[Bbm]
[F] Don't want [Eb] no [Bbm] sorrow, for there's so [Bb] often [Bbm] more, [Db] I don't [Eb] want no crying, [Bbm]
only [Db] tears of [Ab] joy.
[F] Gonna see my [Bbm] father, [Db] gonna see my [Bbm] father, [Db] and I'll be bound for glory [Ab] in the morning when I [Bbm] go away.
[Ab] I'll be lifted up through the clouds on the wings [Bbm] of an angel, [Ab] there's only flesh and bones in the ground where my [F] troubles will stay.

[Db] All my [Eb] kin who [Bbm] loves me, all my friends who care, look beyond the [Bb] dark clouds, [Db] we're gonna meet up [Ab] there.
[F] And they lay me [Eb] in cold [Bbm]
brown arms, [Db] bow your [Bbm] heads and pray, [Fm] bow your heads [Bbm] and pray, [Db] and I'll be bound for glory [Ab] in the morning [Eb] when I [Bbm] go away.
[Db] And then the sun's gonna [Ab] shine through the [Eb] shadows when I [Bbm] go away.

no more [Ab] trying, [Eb] home to the hour in [Db] the day.
