Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Here I stand by this chilly water
waitin’ for my final call
Standing by the river
[D]looking beyond
Gazin’ toward the [G]land of fadeless
beauty o’er the surges rise and fall
Standing by the river
looking beyond

[Verse 2]
Standing by [G]the river waiting
for the boatman
Listen to the music on
the other [D]shore
[G]I can hear the angels singing out
a welcome
With my friends and loved ones

[Verse 3]
who have gone before
[G]
Music from the land of endless glory
fallin upon my listening ear
Standing by the river
looking bey[D]ond
Faces of [G]friends I often vision forms
of loved ones oft appear
Standing by the river looking beyond

[Verse 4]
Standing by the river [G]waiting for
the boatman
Listen to the music on
the other [D]shore
[G]I can hear the angels singing out
a welcome
With my friends and loved ones

[Verse 5]
who have gone before
[G]
Shadows of night are swiftly falling lo I
hear the boatman’s oar
Standing by the river [D]looking beyond
Many are the [G]voices sweetly calling
I must tarry hear no more
Standing by the river
looking beyond

[Verse 6]
Standing by [G]the river waiting for
the boatman
Listen to the music on
the other [D]shore
I can hear the [G]angels singing out
a welcome
With my friends and loved
ones who have gone before
