Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

These fleeting charms of earth

 Farewell, your springs of joy are dry

 My soul now seeks another home

 A brighter world on high

I'm a long time travelling here below

 I'm a long time travelling away from home

I'm a long time travelling here below

To lay this body down

 Fare-well kind friends whose tender care

 Has long engaged my love

 Your fond embrace I now exchange

 For better friends above

I'm a long time travelling here below

 I'm a long time travelling away from home

I'm a long time travelling here below

To lay this body down

To lay this body down

To lay this body down
