A     C   G            Bm
If it be your will to speak
Am              G
Of memories we often shared
F           Am          Em
Talk to me of days gone by
F          G       Am
Think of love and not despair

[Chorus]
G         C
And when I’m gone
G
We’ll meet again
F         Dm      Em
As often do the closest friends
F        C
So dry your eyes
Am       C
And lay me down
F       G         C        Am
I tell you this is not the end

[Verse]
C       Am
And if someone
C          G
Must take my place
Am                G
For I’ll be gone the longest time
F                C        Em
I’ll wait and I will understand
C        F         C
A heart of thorns must
G         Am
Leave the mind

[Chorus]
C                  G
But when in time I see your face
F          Am
The scars will fade
C          G
The heart will mend
F
So dry your eyes
C
And lay me down
G               Am
I tell you this is not the end

[Verse]
C                 G
And from today I wish you joy
Am         F       Am      Em
From this day I wish you peace
F       C                    Em
I hope that life will pass you by
F         G          Am
As softly as the falling leaves

[Chorus]
C                     G
And when your heart is full again
Am            C           G
Raise a glass for me my friend
F
And dry your eyes
C         Em
And lay me down
C      F           G        Am
I tell you this is not the end
Em           F
Oh dry your eyes
C          Em
And lay me down
F      G       C           Am
I tell you this is not the end
