Version 1
Intro:
D G
C
When the ceremony was over
D G
A lad stood alone in tears
C
For he had just said goodbye
D G
To the one he had loved through the years
C
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
D G
As though his heart would break
C
The parson came over and took his hand
D G
And to him these words he did say
C
When God comes and gathers his jewels
D G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
C
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
D G
When God comes and gathers his jewels
C
Every night when the pale moon is shining
D G
You can see this lad all alone
C
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven
D G
He's repeating these words he was told
C
When God comes and gathers his jewels
D G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
*2 C
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
D G
When God comes and gathers his jewels.
