Verse 1

G                      C             D7               G
We're gathered in this room today to say our last goodbyes
                    C           A7                   D7
Friends and kinfolk stayed away it's down to you and I
G                  C           D7               G
It's just a simple service and much too late to say
      A7                          D7
Those tender words unspoken yesterday

Verse 2

    G                                 G7
But don't our love look natural lying there
    C                                          G
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
                B7        C
It faded in its prime and died before its time
    D7                                G
Now don't our love look natural lying there

Verse 3

                   C                    D7                 G
I know the day our love was born well I don't know when it died
                      C               A7           D7
I think we could have saved it but it seems nobody tried
G                      C             D7              G
And love like time can slip away and vanish with the dawn
    A7                                   D7
And you can't bring it back no when it's gone

Verse 4

    G                                 G7
And don't our love look natural lying there
    C                                          G
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
                B7        C
It faded in its prime and died before its time
    D7                                G
Now don't our love look natural lying there

Verse 5

        D7                                G
Yes and don't our love look natural lying there
