VERSE: AEmDDmA As I lie upon the brink of death AEmGDDmFA Knowing soon I'll take my final rest
CHORUS: G I can see the golden aisles Bm In the clouds that reach for miles EmG Someone's calling me, C To come and see A Soon I'll be free
VERSE: AEm Thoughts of years, DDmA That passed raced through my mind AEmGDDmFA Bringing back the times I leave behind
CHORUS: G As my eyes see new dimension Bm Suddenly I feel the tension EmGC Slowly driftin' up from my soul A I'm growing cold
