Version 1
[Intro]
C G C C
[Verse 1]
C C C
Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
G G7
I'll live in memory's garden dear with happy days we've known
G7 G7 C
In spring I'll wait for roses red, when fades the lilacs bloom
C C
And in early fall when brown leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you
C F F
Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought
F C
Each thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot
G C C F
I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
C C G C C
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
[Chorus]
C C C G G7
Beyond the sunset, oh blissful morn - ing
G7 G7 G7 C C
When with our savior, heaven is begun
C C C F F
Earth's toiling ended, oh glory dawning
F C C G C C
Beyond the sunset when day is done
[Verse 2]
C F C
Should you go first and I remain, to finish with the scroll
C G C
No lessening shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
G7 G G7 C
We've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy
C C C
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
C F F
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
F C C
For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name
G C C
Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you do
F C C G7 G7 C C
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I'll follow you
[Final]
C C C F F
In that fair homeland, we'll know no part-ing
F C C G7 C C
Beyond the sun - set for ever more
