Version 1Intro: D G C When the ceremony was over D G A lad stood alone in tears C For he had just said goodbye D G To the one he had loved through the years C He stood all alone with his head bowed down D G As though his heart would break C The parson came over and took his hand D G And to him these words he did say C When God comes and gathers his jewels D G All his treasures of diamonds and gold C You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair D G When God comes and gathers his jewels C Every night when the pale moon is shining D G You can see this lad all alone C With his eyes lifted up toward heaven D G He's repeating these words he was told C When God comes and gathers his jewels D G All his treasures of diamonds and gold *2 C You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair D G When God comes and gathers his jewels.
