The Precious Jewel

G                             C  
Way back in the hills, when a 
          G
boy, I once wandered
Buried deep in her grave lies the 
A          D
one that I love
        G                         
She was called from this earth, a 
C         G
jewel for heaven
More precious than diamonds more 
D             G
precious than gold.


[Chorus]

G                        C        
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in 
G
heaven
                            A      
She'll brighten the kingdom around 
            D
God's great throne
                    G          C  
May the angels have peace, God 
          G
bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they 
D          G
left me to roam.

[Verse 2]

G                          C     
When a girl of sixteen, we 
       G
courted each other
                           A       
She promised someday to be-come my 
      D
sweet wife
         G                C       
I bought  her the ring to wear on 
        G
her finger
But the angels they called her to 
D          G
heaven one night.


[Chorus]

G                        C       
A jewel here on earth, a jewel up
    G
 in heaven
                            A      
She'll brighten the kingdom around 
            D
God's great throne
                    G          C  
May the angels have peace, God 
          G
bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they 
D          G
left me to roam.


[Verse 3]
G                            
This world has it wealth, its' 
  C          G
trials and troubles
Mother earth holds her treasures of 
A            D
diamonds and gold
                      G       C   
But it can't hold the soul of one 
         G
precious jewel
She's resting in peace with the 
D        G
heavenly fold.


[End chorus]
G                              C 
May the angels have peace, God 
           G
bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they 
D          G
left me to roam.
