Merle Haggard – When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels (Guitar)

                            A
When the ceremony was over

  B                  E
A lad stood alone in tears

                A
For he had just said goodbye

       B                            E
To the one he had loved through the years

                                     A
He stood all alone with his head bowed down

   B                      E
As though his heart would break

                         A
The parson came over and took his hand

    B                         E
And to him these words he did say

                                       A
When God comes and gathers his jewels

        B                         E
All his treasures of diamonds and gold

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

     B                         E
When God comes and gathers his jewels

                                           A
Every night when the pale moon is shining

        B                E
You can see this lad all alone

                               A
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven

     B                            E
He's repeating these words he was told

                                       A
When God comes and gathers his jewels

        B                         E
All his treasures of diamonds and gold

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

     B                         E
When God comes and gathers his jewels.
