          B 
When they carried  you into the parlor 
      E                          B                        
Your  wounds were the worst  I'd seen 
                       G#m 
Cold as snow your body trembled  
F# 
Craddled in the  arms of morphine 
B 
All the kinfolk cried out loud 
      E                 B 
Good shepherd save this man 
                       G#m 
But you whispered with icy  breath 
      F# 
It is not in his hands and you said 
E                         B 
Heaven ain't ready for me yet and you looked at me  
E                               B 
Give  me your heart and take a bet and you held my hand 
E                                      F# 
Now I've seen your face now that we've met 
                 B   E 
I shall not slip away 
B 
Mama said to me, daughter 
         E                 B 
You must nurse your cousin well 
                        G#m                  
So I cared for you thru days and night 
         F# 
But your fever I did not quell 
B 
For weeks I watched you suffer pain 
        E              B  
That no laudanum could ease 
                  G#m 
All I had left to do is pray 
          F# 
Lord have mercy on him please - and you said 
E                         B 
Heaven ain't ready for me yet and you looked at me  
E                              B 
Give  me your heart and take a bet and you held my hand 
E                                     F# 
Now I've seen your face now that we've met 
                 B   E 
I shall not slip away 
B 
Now winters lights  has  cooled  the air  
   E                       B 
At last your strength's returned   
                      G#m 
You talk to me of the life you spent  
F# 
And of the life you've earned 
B 
You'll waste no time on vengenance 
          E              B 
You've no wish  to fight again 
                        G#m 
To find peace  you say  In God  we trust 
    F# 
Put little faith in man 
E                               B 
No, Heaven  aint ready  for you yet,  Jesse 
E                                   B 
I'll  give you my heart I'll  take a bet Jesse 
E                                     F# 
Now Ive seen your face now that we've met 
                  B      E    B 
We shall not slip away
