Standin By The Bedside

G                                  
I was standin' by the bedside of a 
C
sister
        G                       
Who was just about to cross that 
          D
swellin' tide
      G                            
And I asked her if she would do me 
  C
a favour
           G                 D    
And kindly take this message to

Well, if you see my saviour, tell 
             C
him that you saw me
    G                            D
And when you saw me, I was on my way
        G                          
You may meet some boyfriends who 
       C
may ask about me
              G             D  
You tell them I am a-comin' home 
      G
someday

INSTRUMENTAL:  (## same as Verse ##)


Well, well, well, you may have to 
                         C
make this journey on without me
          G                     
Sooner or later, sooner or later 
                          D
it's a debt that must be paid
         G                      
When you reach that goal, that's 
                    C
when you'll think about me
             G              D     
But don't forget to tell my savoir
        G
 what I said
