Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You've gone so far away, my darling
Each [C]time I think of you I cry
I press your picture to my [G]bosom
Then I feel that you're close by
Years have passed you've not returned dear
Now they say that you have died

[Verse 2]
[G]
But your soul will live forever

[Interlude 1]
Now I know you'll be close by
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
I [G]saw you last while you were leaving
The [C]tears from you I tried to hide
You took me in your arms and [G]said dear

[Interlude 2]
Your memory I keep close by
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
They [G]buried you in a lonely graveyard
[C]And a spot they left beside
There I'll sleep 'till Jesus [G]calls us
So that we can be close by
[C][G]
