[Verse 1]
C
I once heard a story
C
Of a sainted old mother
C
Who had lived out her life
G7
Here on earth
C
As she lay on her death bed
C
With her family all around
G7
These were the last word she said
[Chorus]
C C7
Oh look what I'm trading for a mansion
F C
Oh look what I'm leaving behind
C Am
Oh look who will be there to greet me
D G
When I step in God's sweet paradise
C C7
I'm leaving behind all my sorrows
F C
I'm leaving behind all my cares
C Am
Yes I'm trading it all for that mansion
C G7 C
That Jesus has gone to prepare
[Intramental]
C Am C F C G7 C G7
[Verse 2]
C
Oh her hands were so feeble
C
And her voice so low
C G7
But she still had a smile on her face
C
She said listen I hear singing
C
Just waiting for me"
G7
And these were the last words she said
[Chorus]
C C7
Oh look what I'm trading for a mansion
F C
Oh look what I'm leaving behind
C Am
Oh look who will be there to greet me
D G
When I step in God's sweet paradise
C C7
I'm leaving behind all my troubles
F C
I'm leaving behind all my debt
C Am
Yes I'm trading it all for that mansion
C G7 C
That Jesus has gone to prepare
[Outro]
C Am
Yes I'm trading it all for that mansion
C G7 C
That my Jesus has gone to prepare
C Am C F C G7 C G7 C
