Verse 1

C                     G7       C
Our little girl taken sick one evening
   F                    C
As she walked home from school
    F                      C
And then her deathbed soon claimed her
              G7         C
It made us so sad and so blue

                   G7           C
Then she called me close to her bedside
    F                              C
And whispered these words soft and low
     F                   C
Tell mommy to come to me quickly
                   G7       C
I want to kiss you both and go

I hear a sweet voice calling
          G7        C
Way up in Heaven on high
             C7            F
God has made room for your daughter
   C         G7          C
Oh mommy and daddy don't cry

Verse 4

             G7     C
Take care of little brother
F                     C
Tell him I've gone to rest
  F                        C
I know his little heart is broken
              G7       C
He's all that you have left

Verse 5

                G7       C
Then she closed her eyes forever
F                  C
Never to see us no more
F                 C
Until we meet our darling
                   G7       C
On that bright and peaceful shore

I hear a sweet voice calling

Way up in Heaven on high
             C7            F
God has made room for your daughter
   C         G7          C
Oh mommy and daddy don't cry

God has made room for your daughter

Oh mommy and daddy don't cry
