Lonely Tombs

E

I was strollin' one day in a lonely graveyard

When a voice from the tomb seemed to

B7

Say

I once

E

Lived as you live walked and talked as you talk

But from earth I was

B7

Soon called a

E

Way

E

Oh those tombs

oh those tombs

Lonely tombs

lonely tombs

Seemed to say in a low gentle

B7

Tone

Oh how

E

Sweet

oh how sweet

Is the rest

is the rest

In our beautiful

B7

Heavenly

E

Home

Every voice from the tomb seemed to whisper and say

Livin' man you must soon follow me

And I thought as I gazed on that cold marble slab

What a sad lonesome place that must be

Repeat chorus

I then came to the place where my mother did lay

And her voice soft and low from the tomb

It said son I'm at rest with the savior above

I am safe in my heavenly home

Repeat chorus
