 Seventy-Eight
  C      G                         
I lost a loved one and I confess I

cried
       G      C    G              
In the joyous cele-bration of the

There were tears in the Holston

River
     D               G    G7
When Maybelle Carter died

     C
Then walking down that river road
      G

Silver beads of love sparklin' on 
          D
the river side
         G
And I'll just bet they turn to 
diamonds
