Lonely Tombs (Oh Those Tombs) [Intro] | D | D A | A D | D | [Verse 1]
D
I was strollin' one day in a lonely graveyard

                                     A7
When a voice from the tomb seemed to say

       D
I once lived as you live, walked and talked as you talk

                     A            D
But from earth I was soon called away
[Chorus]
D
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs)

D
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)

                              A
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone

       D
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)

D
Is the rest (is the rest)

                  A        D
In our beautiful, heavenly home
[Break] | D | D A | A D | D | [Verse 2]
D
Every voice from the tomb, seemed to whisper and say

                                A    A7
Livin' man you must soon follow me

       D
Then I thought as I gazed, on that cold marble slab

                    A               D
What a sad lonesome place that must be
[Chorus]
D
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs)

D
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)

                              A7
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone

       D
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)

D
Is the rest (is the rest)

                  A7       D
In our beautiful, heavenly home
[Break] | D | D A7 | A7 D | D | [Verse 3]
D
I then came to the place, where my mother did lay

                                     A
And her voice, soft and low from the tomb

          D
It said: "Son I'm at rest with the savior above"

                 A        D
"I am safe in my heavenly home"
[Chorus]
D
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs)

D
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)

                              A     A7
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone

       D
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)

D
Is the rest (is the rest)

                  A           D
In our beautiful, heavenly ho-ome..
