CAPO 1
Intro: E A E A E B A E B E
Last night I had a dream, my dear;
AE
I dreamed I saw you again.
F#B
Your smile was just as lovely as the day it all began.
EAE
I saw your face I kissed your lips I felt your warm embrace,
AEBA
then I woke up alone and you were still gone,
EBE
and the loneliness lied in your place.
AE
If death is worse than cryin'
B
because God took you away,
AEBA
then why do I long each day to be gone?
EBE
Life without you is worse than the grave.
Dobro solo: E A E F# B
Guitar solo: E A E A E B A E B E
If I had my way, I'd leave here today;
AE
I'd leave this old world here below;
I'd meet you up there in the land bright and fair,
F#B
Dear Lord, I'm ready to go!
E
But I'll have to wait for you, my dear,
AE
till my number is called to come home.
AEBA
Until that glad day when I hear you say,
EBE
"My Love you're no longer alone."
AE
If death is worse than cryin'
B
because God took you away,
AEBA
then why do I long each day to be gone?
EBE
Life without you is worse than the grave.
AE
If death is worse than cryin'
B
because God took you away,
AEBA
then why do I long each day to be gone?
EBE
Life without you is worse than the grave.
