C    G7    C


[Verse 1]
C               C7    F
I stand here so solemn  with a blank look on my face
       C         A7              D7         G7
As you lay there dressed in pure white lace
        C          C7           F
With my head bowed low Lord the tears are streaming down
      C             G7           C   F
I can hear that old preacher man say

[Chorus]
C                 F       C
  In loving mem-o-ries we gather
                A7           D7      G7
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
   C            C7       F
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
         C       G7               C     F   C
Until we meet  beyond the shining river

[Spoken]
       C7      F
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you
                                C
And a white fence will surround you
            A7                   D7               G7
And on your marker words of love    I'll inscribe
C               C7
  And though in death we're apart
F
  You know you'll always be in my heart
C                  G7                C           F  C
   And it won't be long till I'll be by your side

[Chorus]
C                 F       C
  In loving mem-o-ries we gather
                A7           D7      G7
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
   C            C7       F
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
         C       G7               C     F   C
Until we meet  beyond the shining river
