C G7 C
[Verse 1]
C C7 F
I stand here so solemn with a blank look on my face
C A7 D7 G7
As you lay there dressed in pure white lace
C C7 F
With my head bowed low Lord the tears are streaming down
C G7 C F
I can hear that old preacher man say
[Chorus]
C F C
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
A7 D7 G7
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
C C7 F
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
C G7 C F C
Until we meet beyond the shining river
[Spoken]
C7 F
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you
C
And a white fence will surround you
A7 D7 G7
And on your marker words of love I'll inscribe
C C7
And though in death we're apart
F
You know you'll always be in my heart
C G7 C F C
And it won't be long till I'll be by your side
[Chorus]
C F C
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
A7 D7 G7
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
C C7 F
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
C G7 C F C
Until we meet beyond the shining river
