The Old Church Yard

D                                             D
In the old church yard where the faithful gather
D                                  A
There's a place they have left for me
D
By the old oak tree were my folks lie buried
D                         A        D
There's a place they have left for me

[Chorus]
D
I'm going there to meet my Savior
G                         D
I've got a mansion in the sky
D
Family and friends will be there waiting
D                 A      D
We'll be together by-and-by


[Verse 2]
D
When they lay me there this old body will crumble
D                            A
In the place by the old oak tree
D
But when Jesus comes there'll be a new body
D                      A        D
In the place they have left for me


[Chorus]
D
I'm going there to meet my Savior
G                         D
I've got a mansion in the sky
D
Family and friends will be there waiting
D                 A      D
We'll be together by-and-by


[Verse 3]
D
On that morning when the Saints all gather
D                            A
And the souls of the dead go free
D
Then will Jesus come and open up Heaven
D                   A         D
Where a place is prepared for me


[Chorus]
D
I'm going there to meet my Savior
G
I've got a mansion in the sky
D
Family and friends will be there waiting
D
We'll be together by-and-by


[Verse 4]
D
In this world of sin where troubles are many
D                              A
There's a place that I long to see
D
In the old church yard were the folks lie buried
D                          A       D
There's a place they have left for me
