Won’t You Come And Sing For Me

Written by Hazel Dickens

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

  D7       C       G
I feel the shadows now upon me
    C          G      D7
And the angels beckon to me
Before I go dear sisters and brothers
Won’t you come and sing for me

Chorus

     C              G
Sing those hymns we sang together
   D7                            C           G
In that plain little church with the benches all worn
    C                    G
How dear to my heart how precious the moments
   D7                  C           G
We stood shaking hands and singing a song

Verse 2

   D7              C          G
My burden is heavy my way has grown weary
  C               G         D7
I have traveled a road that is long
    C                      G
And it would warm this old heart my dear brother
   D7           C       G
If you come and sing me one song

Verse 3

   D7      C          G
In my home beyond the dark river
     C           G         D7
Your sweet faces no more I will see
      C             G
Until we meet where there’s no more sad parting
Won’t you come and sing for me
