VERSE 1:

        G        D           G
You've gone  so far away my darling
     C
Each time I think of you  I  cry
                               G
I'll press your picture to my  bosom
G         D                      G
Then I'll feel that you're close by

INSTR: G   D   G,   C   G,  G   D   G

VERSE 2:

   G           D                         G
The years have passed you've not returned dear
    C
Now they say that you  have died
                        G
But your soul will live forever
G          D               G
Now I know you'll be close by

INSTR: G   D   G,   C   G,  G   D   G

VERSE 3:
  G       D                   G
I saw you last while you were leaving
    C
The tears from you I tried to  hide
                                  G
You took me in your arms and said dear
G       D                G
Your memory I keep close by

INTRO:  G   D   G

        G               D           G
They've buried you in a lonely graveyard
      C
And a spot they've left  beside
                           G
Now we'll sleep 'til Jesus calls us
G       D               G
So that we can be close by
