G D G


[Verse 1]
G                 C                  G
Though for now we walk down roads of sorrow
G               Em              D
Underneath this heavy weight of grief
              G    C                   G
Soon there'll be a bright and glorious morning
G                    D           G
Where we'll find our joy at last complete


[Chorus]
G         C                       G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G       D                       C       G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G        C                  G  D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
        C                 D                G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears


[Verse 2]
G                 C                G
Though for now we feel the ache of parting
G                 Em          D
Burdened with the pain of sad goodbyes
       G        C                    G
Yet we cling to that great hope He's promised
G         D              G
Of a glad reunion in the sky


[Chorus]
G         C                       G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G       D                       C       G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G        C                  G  D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
        C                 D                G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears


[Verse 3]
G             C                   G
If you listen close you'll almost hear it
G      Em                   D
Oh the melody that's rising sweet
       G        C              G
Of the faithful saints gone on before us
G               D                  G
Gathered safely round our Savior's feet


[Chorus]
G         C                       G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G       D                       C       G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G        C                  G  D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
        C                 D                G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears


[Outro]
G     C
Every heart made whole
      G   D  C
Every eye is clear
        G                 D            (pause)   G
And the only thing that's missing there       is tears
