INTRO: (G-A-B)  C   C   G      C   G   C   G   C  G  
The curtain of darkness is fallin’
GAnd my friends are all here at my side.
CAre those the sweet voices of angelsG  
GAs I rise on that heavenly tide?
A                                       D7
All hearts overflowin’ with sadness
GAnd those words left so often unsaid
CThen I could hear a voice whispering softly,G  
C“Could I have all your stuff when your dead?”G  C

It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.
