The Dying Mother(Keyboard chords)

	        
Intro A 


Verse 1:
                              D               A 
On a cold winter’s eve as the snowflakes were falling 
                          E 
In a low humble cottage a poor mother lay 
      A                               D            A 
And although wracked with pain as she lay there contented 
                                E              A 
With her Savior, her Friend and peace with Him made 



                 D              A 
We will all meet again on that great Judgment morning 
                            E 
The books will be open, the roll will be called 
       A                    D          A 
Oh how sad it will be if forever we’re parted 
                             E                A 
While some rise to Glory and others stand the Fall 


Instrumental 
A D A  E A 


Verse 2:
                            D             A 
Oh that mother of yours has gone o’er the river 
                                      E 
And you promised you’d meet her while knelt by her bed 
       A                               D           A 
As the death sweat rolled off and fell down on her pillow 
                             E             A 
Oh, her mem’ry still lives although she is dead 



                               D              A 
We will all meet again on that great Judgment morning 
                            E 
The books will be open, the roll will be called 
       A                    D          A 
Oh how sad it will be if forever we’re parted 
                             E                A 
While some rise to Glory and others stand the Fall 



Instrumental 
A D A  E A 


Verse 3:
                              D              A 
You remember the kiss and the last words she uttered 
                                  E 
Oh the arms that embraced you are with you no more 
       A                            D           A 
As you stand by her grave teardrops fall on her casket 
                                E             A 
And you vowed there to meet her on that happy shore 


Outro 
                               D              A 
We will all meet again on that great Judgment morning 
                            E 
The books will be open, the roll will be called 
       A                    D          A 
Oh how sad it will be if forever we’re parted 
                             E                A 
While some rise to Glory and others stand the Fall
