E A B A 

Verse 1:
                            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 

Verse 2:

                                     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 

Verse 2:
 
                                           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.
