Hank Williams – When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels (Guitar)

                      C
When the ceremony was over

  D                  G
A lad stood alone in tears

                C
For he had just said goodbye

       D                            G
To the one he had loved through the years

                            C
He stood all alone with his head bowed down

   D                      G
As though his heart would break

                         C
The parson came over and took his hand

    D                         G
And to him these words he did say

                               C
When God comes and gathers his jewels

        D                         G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold

                            C
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair

     D                         G
When God comes and gathers his jewels

                                  C
Every night when the pale moon is shining

        D                G
You can see this lad all alone

                               C
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven

     D                            G
He's repeating these words he was told

                               C
When God comes and gathers his jewels

        D                         G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold

     D                         G
When God comes and gathers his jewels.
