Funeral Bell

Em            C          G
Oh mother I'm scared to die
Em                 C           G
Where, where do my good deeds lie
Em            C          G
Oh father I'm scared to live
Em              C            G
Takes more than I've got to give
Em            C         G
Oh sister my voice is weak
Em           C         G
Oh brother I long for sleep
Em          C        G
Oh hunger I know you well
Em                   C       G
My cruel friend is a funeral bell


        Em
And it rings in the day
        C           G
And it rings in the evening

Em                      C        
Oh I could pray but it won’t stop
     G
 you leaving
Em                       C       
Shadow in black you are grim from
       G
 your reaping
Em                        C      
Oh can’t you spare just a day for
      G
 the weeping


Em         C            G
Oh lover I know you’re there
Em             C        G
And I'd follow you anywhere
Em            C       G
Oh give me a hand to hold
Em             C        G
So that I may face the cold


          Em
Cause it rings in the day
        C           G
And it rings in the evening
Em                     C
