[Intro]
A  A7  D  A
   E   A


[Verse 1]
           A        A7
There's an old, old house
     D          A
That once was a mansion
                          E
On a hill overlooking the town
    A               A7
But time has left a wreckage
      D              A
Where once there was beauty
                 E                 A
And soon the old house will tumble down


[Chorus]
         E               D       A
When the leaves start to fall in autumn
        E              D             A
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
                    A7
There's an old, old man
    D                 A
Who walks through the garden
                E            A
And his head is bowed in memory


[Fiddle Solo]
A  A7  D  A
       E
A  A7  D  A
   E   A


[Verse 2]
     A                A7
They say he built the mansion
  D          A
Because of a woman
                                      E
And they planned to be married in the fall
    A        A7
But her love withered
       D            A
In the last days of summer
                    E           A
And the house stood empty after all


[Chorus]
         E               D       A
When the leaves start to fall in autumn
        E              D             A
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
                    A7
There's an old, old man
    D                 A
Who walks through the garden
                E            A
And his head is bowed in memory
                E            D
And his head is bowed in memory

[Intro]
A      E  A


[Verse 1]
     A                A7
In a war-torn land of poverty
    D                A
Somewhere across the sea
          A
There's a little boy who's waiting
                    E
He looks a lot like me
    A                A7
His hair is like the sunlight
       D          A
On the wings of a crow
  A
I don't know what they named him
        E                  A   A7
But I'm sure they call him Joe


[Chorus]
       D
Just a little boy called Joe
        A
Like so many more I know
                                    E
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
       A              A7
I want him to have my name
       D               A
Little Joe was mine to claim
                       E              A
This little boy called Joe belongs to me

       E  A


[Verse 2]
    A              A7
His mother died to give him life
    D               A
The night my orders came
  A
I wanted to be with him
                  E
But war's an evil thing
    A             A7
Now he won't recognize me
         D              A
But I've got to let him know
        A
That he means much more to someone
            E                 A   A7
Than just a little boy called Joe


[Chorus]
       D
Just a little boy called Joe
        A
Like so many more I know
                                    E
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
       A              A7
I want him to have my name
       D               A
Little Joe was mine to claim
                       E              A
This little boy called Joe belongs to me


[Guitar Solo]
A      E  A  A7


[Chorus]
       D
Just a little boy called Joe
        A
Like so many more I know
                                    E
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
       A              A7
I want him to have my name
       D               A
Little Joe was mine to claim
                       E              A
This little boy called Joe belongs to me
                            E              A
Yes, this little boy called Joe belongs to me

[Verse 1]
      A                     A7
I was standing by my window
       D               A
On one cold and cloudy day
       A
When I saw the hearse come rolling
               E       A
For to take my mother away


[Chorus]
         A                   A7
Will the circle be unbroken?
       D                A
By and by, Lord, by and by
          A
There's a better home awaiting
                  E      A
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 2]
        A                    A7
Lord, I told that undertaker
      D                             A
"Undertaker, won't you please drive slow?
         A
For this body that you are hauling
                E       A
Lord, I hate to see her go"


[Chorus]
         A                   A7
Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

[Verse 3]
       A                       A7
I will follow close behind her
       D              A
Try to hold up and be brave
       A
But my sorrows, I could not hide them
                   E      A
When they laid her in her grave


[Chorus]

Will the circle be unbroken?

I went back home, Lord, to see my loved ones
       D               A
But my mother, she was gone
       A
All my brothers, sisters crying
              E            A
See a home so sad and all alone


[Chorus]
         A                   A7
Will the circle be unbroken?
       D                A

[Verse 1]
     E                 E7
When storm clouds have gathered
        A         E
And I'm losing my way
    E
She stands right beside me
                 B7
She lights up my day
      E              E7
She's one thing I've found right
     A                 E
In a world that's gone wrong
          E
She's the words to the music
       B7             E    E7
In the world's finest song


[Chorus]
A
Lord, let me keep her
   E
At least for awhile
  E
I promise I'll love her
                    B7
'til I walk my last mile
          E             E7
When your trumpets have sounded
            A          E

Don't send me no angels

For I have my own

[Verse 2]
          E                 E7
She stood by me through the hard times
       A           E
That's still going on
         E
That ol' feeling between us
                   B7
Is still coming on strong
        E             E7
When my eyes close forever
       A               E
And my last breath has gone
      E
Don't send me no angels
    B7        E   E7
For I have my own


[Chorus]
A
Lord, let me keep her
   E
At least for awhile
  E
I promise I'll love her
                    B7
'til I walk my last mile
          E             E7
When your trumpets have sounded
            A          E
And they're playing my song
      E
Don't send me no angels

For I have my own

Don't send me no angels

[Verse 1]
      G                 G7            C
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
         D7                              G
There is one smiling face that God would see
                        G7             C
For she'll walk along beside me up the golden stair

Oh, they'll never ever take her love from me

I thought I could make her happy
       G
If I'd step aside
                                D7
And see her love turn into sympathy
     G              G7          C
Even on the morning she became another's bride

I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
        D7                              G
That we shared together in that used-to-be
                      G7               C
Even though someone's arms hold her in fond caress

I said, "They'll never ever take her love from me"


[Chorus]

What I fool I was

To go and break the trust she gave

And see her love turn into sympathy
     G               G7            C
It's one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
            D7                         G
Oh, they'll never ever take her love from me

Lord, they'll never ever take her love from me

There's a long line of mourners

Coming down our street
                                     E   B7  E7
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
        A
They're all of your rich friends

That knew you in the city
                     E7                  A  A7
And now they finally brought you home to me


[Chorus 1]
    D                               A
The paper told of how you lost your life
                                       E7
Of the party and that fatal crash that night
    A                        D            A
The race on the highway, the curve no one seen

Now you're riding in that long black limousine


[Spoken Verse]
A           D
   When you left home, you told me
A
That someday, you'd be returning
                                     E   B7  E7
In a fancy car for the whole town to see
     A
Well now, everybody, they're watching now
      D                          A
And I guess you finally got your dream
                            E7                   A     A7
For you're riding in one of them long black limousines


[Chorus 2]
        D                            A
Through tears, I watched as you ride by
                                               E7
With a chauffeur at the wheel, he's dressed so fine
     A                      D                A
I'll never love another, my heart and all my dreams
                      E7              A
Ride with you in that long black limousine
                         E7              D
They go with you in that long black limousine

There's a place that I love so well

Since Mother and Daddy are dead


[Interlude]
G  D7  G


[Verse 2]
        G      G7            C
We were all so happy there together
       G                        D7
In our peaceful little mountain home
        G             G7              C
But the Savior needed angels there in heaven
             G                D7          G
And now they sing around that great white throne


[Chorus]
      G          G7       C
White doves will mourn in sorrow
    G            D7         G
The willows will hang their heads
             G7      C
I'll live my life in sorrow
      G          D7        G
Since Mother and Daddy are dead

[Verse 3]
       G        G7          C
As the years go by, I often wonder
        G                   D7
Will we all be together someday?
       G                 G7               C
But at nighttime, you'll find me by their graveside
     G        D7        G
As I kneel in prayer to say


[Chorus]
      G          G7       C
White doves will mourn in sorrow
    G            D7         G
The willows will hang their heads
             G7      C
I'll live my life in sorrow
      G          D7        G
Since Mother and Daddy are dead
                 D7        N.C.
Since Mother and Daddy are dead

9.) "Flowers for Mama"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Intro]
G    D7  G


[Verse 1]
G            G7          C      G
Papa brought flowers for Mama today
                                     A7           D7
And all the grown children, but it's not Mother's Day
  G             G7         C        G
I don't have no money, not even one dime
                                  D7           G
But I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time


[Verse 2]
     G             G7           C           G
Each day, I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
                               A7       D7
A small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils
        G             G7          C          G
And I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
                                   D7        G
And say, "Flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet"


[Verse 3]
     G            G7             C       G
It'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
                                         A7        D7
She'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
    G            G7           C           G
Mom wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers
                                D7             G
A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours


[Spoken Verse 4]
G  G7            C                   G
      Yes, Mama, she was lying there
          G
Yes, they tell me she passed away
    A7
And she was surrounded by flowers
D7
   That outshine my bouquet
G                   G7
   Yes, I know mine aren't fancy
C                           G
   But still, all the while
          G
They were placed in her hand
      D7              G     G7
And I know I saw Mama smile


[Outro Verse]
C                   G
Flowers for Mama, I picked them today
                      A7        D7
Not very much, just a simple bouquet
    G         G7         C         G
Mom wasn't so fancy, but up there above
                                    D7        G
She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love

10.) "Bringing Mary Home"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]

[Intro]
D    B7
E    A


[Verse 1]
      E
I was driving down a lonely road
    D               A
One dark and stormy night
       E
When a little girl by the roadside
       D            E
Showed up in my headlights
  A
I stopped and she got in back
               E
And in a shaky tone
    D                 B7
She said, "My name is Mary
       E                 A
Please won't you take me home?"


[Verse 2]
    E
She must have been so frightened
     D                 A
All alone there in the night
          E
There was something strange about her
        D               E
For her face was deadly white
    A
She sat so pale and quiet
                     E
In the backseat all alone
  D             B7
I never will forget that night
E           A
I took Mary home


[Interlude]
D    B7
E    A


[Verse 3]
  E
I pulled into the driveway
      D              A
Where she told me to go
    E
Got out to help her from the car
    D             E
And opened up the door
      A
But I just could not believe my eyes
                 E
The backseat was bare
  D           B7
I looked all around the car
    E            A
But Mary, she wasn't there


[Verse 4]
  E
A light shone from the porch
        D             A
Someone opened up the door
  E
I asked about the little girl
     D             E
That I was looking for
A
Then a lady, smiling gently
                E
Brushed a tear away
    D                  B7
She said, "It sure was nice of you
   E              A
To go out of your way"


[Verse 5]
     E
"But 13 years ago today
     D                   A
In a wreck just down the road
    E
Our darling Mary lost her life
D               E
And we miss her so
   A
So thank you for your kindness
                         E
And the trouble you have shown
               D               B7
But you're the 13th one that's been here
E             A
Bringing Mary home"

[Intro]
A    E7  A


[Verse 1]
                 A
In this troubled world
        D           A
They're working and building
                        B7              E
Clinging to treasure on Earth's sinking sand
                  A
But I purchased a lot
     D           A
In a city called Heaven
                               E           A
But I live in a mansion that's not made by man


[Chorus]
                A
I'm planning to move
     D          A
To a far better country
                              B7              E
No more burdens or sorrows or heartaches I'll know
                    A
Just a pilgrim down here
       D        A
I must be on my journey
                                E          A
I've heard about heaven, so I'm longing to go

[Verse 2]
                 A
People travel so fast
        D         A
They forget about Calvary
                            B7             E
Just d
