Chords

From the album "Soul Journey" (2003) [Intro] C/G G [Verse 1]
G                 F          C/G
[tab]                          G
And they surely stood the test

                          C/G
And now they're in bright glory

         D       D/C    D/B  D/A   G
And are sleeping on the savior's breast
[Verse 2]
G                F          C/G
They set a good example for me

                          G
And they taught me how to pray

               C/G
Now I truly converted

    D       D/C    D/B  D/A  G
And walking on the narrow   way
[Instrumental] G F C/G G [Verse 3]
G                             F       C/G
I know that if I can not meet them on high

                       G
Then how lonely I will be

                    C/G
For what good is my journey

   D      D/C     D/B  D/A  G
If I miss out on eternity
[Instrumental] G F C/G G [Verse 4]
G                 F          C/G
I had a real good mother and father

                          G
And they surely stood the test

                          C/G
And now they're in bright glory

         D       D/C    D/B  D/A   G
And are sleeping on the savior's breast
