[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I was strolling one
day in a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tombs seemed to [D]say,
I once [G]lived as you lived,
walked and talked as you talked,
But from [Em]earth [G]I was s[D]oon called a[G]way.
Oh, those tombs, lonely tombs,
Seemed to say in a low, [D]gentle tone,
Oh, [G]sweet is the rest
In our beautiful [D]heavenly [G]home
Every voice from the tomb
Seemed to whisper and say,
You must soon follow [D]me
And I [G]thought as I looked
On them cold marble slabs
What a dark, [D]place
That must [G]be
Oh, those two ladies
Lonely, two ladies
Seem to say [D]in a [G]low, [D]gentle tone
Oh, [G]sweet, how sweet is the regalest in our
beautiful [D]heavenly [G]home.[D][G]
[D][G]
Then I came to the place where my mother was laid,
and in silence I stood by her [D]tomb.
Then her [G]voice seemed to say,
in a low gentle tone,
And I am [Em]safe [G]with my
[D]Saviour at [G]home.
All those tunes, lonely tunes,
Seem to say in a low gentle [D]tone,
Oh, how [G]sweet is the rest
In our beautiful [D]heavenly [G]home.
