There my kindred and friends are at rest,
Then away from my sorrow and care
Let me fly to the land of the blest.

For the end of my journey I see,
Many dear to my heart, over there,
Are watching and waiting for me.

I’ll soon be at home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
I’ll soon be at home over there.

«The Last Goodbye»

4 4 -4 5_ -4 -4 4 5_
I saw the light fade from the sky
4 -4 5 6. 5-4 4 4_
On the wind I he-ard a sigh
4 -4 5 6. 5 -4.
As the snowflakes cover
4-4 5 6. -6 6
My fallen brothers
7 7 7 7. 8′-8. 7 7_
I will say this last goodbye

-6 -6 6_ -6 7__
Night is now falling
7 7_ 5 6_
So ends this day
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 7_
The road is now calling
-8 (8-8 7.) 8 (-9 8 -8)_
And I-i-i must away

4 -4 5_ -4 5 6 -6_
Over hill and under tree
6 -6 7 -8_ 8 -8 7 -6_
Through lands where ne-ver light has shone
7 7 -7 7_ 5 5 -6_ 6 (5 -4)
By silver streams that run down to the sea

4 -4 5_ -4 5 6 -6_
Under cloud, beneath the stars
-6 7 -8_ 8 -8 7 -6_
Over snow one winter’s morn
7 7 -7 7__ 5 -6 -8 -8 7 -8__
I turn at last to paths that le-ad home

7 7 (7 7) 8 -8 (-8 7 -6).
And though where the road then takes me,
8 -9 (8 8-8)_
I cannot tell
-6 -6 7 -6 8.
We came all this way
-6 -6 7 -6 8.
But now comes the day
8 8 -9 (8 8 -8)_
To bid you farewell

4 -4 5 4. (5 -4) (4 4)
Many places I have been
4 -4 5 6. -6. 6 6_
Many sorrows I have seen
(4 -4 5 4 -3′ 4)_
But I don’t regret
4 -4 5 6 -6_
Nor will I forget
7 7 7 7. 8′-8. 7 7_
All who took that road with me

-6 -6 6_ -6 7__
Night is now falling
7 7_ 5 6_
So ends this day
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 7_
The road is now calling
-8 (8-8 7.) 8 (-9 8 -8)_
And I-i-i must away

4 -4 5_ -4 5 6 -6_
Over hill and under tree
6 -6 7 -8_ 8 -8 7 -6_
Through lands where ne-ver light has shone
7 7 -7 7__ 7 7 -8 -8 7 -8__
By silver streams that run down to the sea

4 -4 5. -4 5 6 -6_
To these memories I will hold
-6 7 -8 8_ -8 7 -6_
With your blessing I will go
7 7 -7 7_ 7 -8__ -8 -8 7 -8__
To turn at last to paths that le-ad home

7 7 (7 7) 8 -8 (-8 7 -6).
And though where the road then takes me,
8 -9 8 (8-8)_
I cannot tell
-6 -6 7 -6 8.
We came all this way

To bid you farewell

-6 7 -6 8_ -6 -6 7 8. -6 7__
I bid you all a very fond farewell

She said that she loved me

5 -5 -5 5 -5 6

I know it ain’t so

She’s left me forever

She’s nothin’ but a ho’

5 -5 5 -5 4

She done me no go-od

5 -5 -5 5 -5 6

I’m better with her go-ne

5 -5 5 -5 5 4

She’s out of my life now

5 -5 -5 5 -5 6

5 -5 -5 5 4

Don’t laugh! It’s a work in progress.

6 6 6 5 4 4 -4 4 4
He fell a-sleep with a trou-bled brain
-4 -4 4 4 3 3 3 3 4 4
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train

The engine was bloody
It was sweaty and damp
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
An imp for fuel was shovelin’ bones
While a furnace rang with a thousand groans

The boiler was filled with lager beer
The devil himself was the engineer
The passengers were most a motley crew
Some were foreigners, and others he knew
Rich men in broadcloth, beggars in rags
Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags

As the train rushed on at a terrible pace
Sulfuric fumes scorched there hands and face
Wider and wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew
Louder and louder the thunder crashed
Brighter and brighter the lightnin’ flashed
Hotter and hotter the air became
Til the clothes were burnin’ with each quivering flame
Then out of the distance there came a yell
«Ha ha,» said the devil, «We’re nearin’ hell!»
Oh, how the passengers, stricken with pain
Begged old Satan to stop that train

The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standin’ high
He fell to his knees on the barroom floor
And prayed and prayed like never before

And the prayers and vows were not in vain
For he never rode that hellbound train
Ha ha ha ha ha

This can also be played on a G (and probably a C as well) but sounds
best in the key of D.

When the mus-ic fades,

5 -4 -4 4 4
all is stripped a-way,

6 6 6 4 -4 -4
And I sim-ply come,

6 6 6 4 -4
Long-ing just to bring

5 -4 -4 4 4 4
Some-thing that’s of worth

6 6 6 -4 -4 -4
that will bless your heart

-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 -4
I’ll bring you more than a song,

-4 4 5 -4 4 -3
for a song in it-self

-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 -4
Is not what you have re-quir-ed.

-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
You search much deep-er with-in

-4 4 5 -4 4 -3
Through the way things ap-pear;

-5 -5 -5 6 5 -6 5 -4
You’re look-ing in-to my heart.

Chorus

6 6 6 6
I’m com-ing back

4 4 -6 6 5 5 -4
to the heart of wor-ship,

4 4 5 5 -5 5 5
and it’s all a-bout You

5 5 -5 5 5 -4 4
all a-bout you, Je-sus.

6 6 6 6
I’m sor-ry Lord,

4 4 -6 -6 5 -4
For the thing I’ve made it,

4 4 5 5 -5 5
when it’s all a-bout You,

5 5 -5 5 -4 4 4
All a-bout you, Je-sus.

Verse 2(same way as verse 1):

King of endless worth
no one could express,
How much you deserve.
Though I’m weak and poor,
All I have is Yours,
ev’ry single breath
I’ll bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
Is not what you require.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.
