[Intro]
G D G
[Verse]
G C G
I am a man half a century from home
C G Em
These calloused hands served their master well
Em
Dear nothing is the matter
C G
We plow our feilds and scatter in the wind
D G
To end our days alone
C G
I remember crawling into Grandma's open arms
C G Em
And hiding in the blanket by her feet
Em
She said "We're all each other's neighbors
C G
Searching for a saviour to lead us home
D G
On the day we leave.
[Chorus]
C G
When I'm gone, don't you think of me
D
Don't you place a rose upon my stone
G
Promise me you'll never weep
C G
Tell the chldren I'm asleep
D G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
[Verse]
C G
Won't you bury me in the Carolina clay
C G Em
It seeped into my fingers anyway
C
This ground is someting hallow, bury me shallow
G D G
Let me feel the tapping of the rain
C G
We'll never know the place we all would go from here
C
Be still, my soul
G Em
Bring the hour near
Em
We see the world in flashes
C G
Ashes all to ashes, dust to dust
D G
We've come to dissapear
[Chorus]
C G
When I'm gone, don't you think of me
D
Don't you place a rose upon my stone
G
Promise me you'll never weep
C G
Tell the chldren I'm asleep
D G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
D G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
