I    came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay
    C      Csus4 C            G     C/g   G
And pensively    stood by his tomb
F    C  Csus4 C         F     G         C
When in a low whisper I heard something say:
              G          C      Csus4  C
How sweetly I sleep here alone.

F   C  Csus4    C            F    G       C
The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
        *     C          G
And gathering storms may arise
F G C    Csus4 C           F    G     C
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul
          *       G             C
The tears are all wiped from my eyes.

 C   F     C       Dm  F     C       G   F     C     Csus4 F     C

The   calls of my master compelled me from home
   Csus4      C        G    C/g  G
No kindred or relative nigh
F G C   Csus4  C          F     G     C
I   met the contagion and sank to the tomb
        *       G           C     Csus4   C
My soul flew to mansions on high.

Csus4 C    F  G   C         F   G         C
Go    tell my companion and children most dear
   C    Csus4   C  Csus4   G    C/g  G
To weep not for me now I'm gone
F G C    Csus4     C              F    G    C
The same hand that led me through seas most severe
              G        C      Csus4  C
Has kindly assisted me home.
