[Verse]
G
When I come to the end of lives journey
D D7
And I?ve gone the last mile of the way
G C G
When friends come to cry and kiss me good- -bye
D7 G
I wonder just what they will say

[Chorus]
C G
When they lay me to rest, in a casket of white
D D7
From this troubled old world I?ll be free
G C G
Oh what will they say, as they walk slowly by
D7 G
When they take that last look at me

[Verse]
G
When they candle me weeping and mourning
D D7
Then the crowd will walk slowly a- -way
G C G
When they look at the lace that covers my face
D7 G
I wonder just what they will say

[Chorus]
G
When I'm left all alone in the graveyard
D D7
And they?ve laid me beneath the cold clay
G C G
When the flowers they gave are placed on my grave
D7 G
I wonder just what they will say
