[G7] CHOURS [C] Mother is gone, to her [G] home Way up in [D7] heaven a-[G] bove [D7] And my [G] heart's so sad, for the [C] words I read there The [G] words said [D7] Mother is [G] gone. As I stood alone, with mem'ries of home The place I left long, long ago I returned home, but I waited too long For the words said, Mother is gone. My friends did say, before she went away She called my name o'er and o'er So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above Over there on that other shore. CHORUS
