Capo: 3rd fret/key: b/play: g

[g] in a little pine grove [c] by the old home

There's [g] someone who's [d7] restin' a-[g] lone [d7]

And [g] there on the the tomb, these [c] words i read

The [g] words were [d7] mother is [g] gone. [g7]



Chours

[c] mother is gone, to her [g] home

Way up in [d7] heaven a-[g] bove [d7]

And my [g] heart's so sad, for the [c] words i read there

The [g] words said [d7] mother is [g] gone.



As i stood alone, with mem'ries of home

The place i left long, long ago

I returned home, but i waited too long

For the words said, mother is gone.



My friends did say, before she went away

She called my name o'er and o'er

So trustin' in god's love, i'll meet her above

Over there on that other shore.



Chorus
