Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You left on a Saturday In her hands you passed away

 On seashores we laughed and played Only months ago

And I know you tried so hard To heal the space between our hearts

 And now your work is done For your daughters and sons

Swing low to the ground For we have lost our father’s crown

Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn

 And your spirit took flight From the world

We gathered the sticks and leaves To set aflame our memories

  Your family gathered around To lay your ashes down

Sing treetops and clap your hands For the grace in this sorrowful plan

  That night when one candle remained We whispered your name

Swing low to the ground For we have lost our father’s crown

Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn

 And your spirit took flight From the world
