[Verse 1]
B   Em   B      Em             Am           B7
The moon shines bright and the stars give a light
  Em            Am    B
A little before it is day
G        C       B  C  Am   B7
The lord our god he forgave us
    Em       Am       Em Am Em
And bids us awake and pray____

The life of man is but a span
    Em       Am     B
And cut down in its flower

We're here to-day, tomorrow gone

The creatures of an hour____

Today you may be alive and well
      Em     Am       B
Worth many a thousand pound
G        C    B   C    Am B7
Tomorrow dead and cold as clay
     Em          Am   Em Am Em
Your corpse laid underground__

B    Em  B    Em       Am       B7
With one turf at thine head, oh man
     Em     Am     B
And another at thy feet
G   C          B   C   Am      B7
Thy good deeds and thy bad, oh man
     Em    Am     Em Am Em
Will all together meet____
 
 
[Verse 5]
B  Em   B  Em      Am      B7
My song is done, I must be gone
      Em      Am     B
I can stay no longer here
G         C        B    C     Am  B7
God bless you all, both great and small
    Em         Am         Em Am Em
And send you a joyful new year____
