When We Gather Once More   by Rick Fielding


Our (C)evening here has(F) reached the(C) end
The (Am)time to (F)part is (C)near
I'm (F)glad our(C) roads, they all did(Am) cross
And (F)come (C)together (G)here
Your(C) welcome it has(F) been so (C)warm,
So be(F)fore you travel (C)on
Please(F) raise your voices (C)all as (Am)one
And (F)join me (G)in this (C)song (G)

CH
Be(C) well, be safe, be (F)kind, be (C)strong
For the (F)times will test us (C)sore
And to(F) gladden our(C) hearts
Our bodies, our (Am)souls
Oh be(F) here when we (G)gather once(Am) more,
Oh be(F) here when we(G) gather once(C) more

The ways that take me from this place
Have many a twist and bend
But I've never traveled on a road
That doesn't have an end
And when I meet some folk like you
I'd be proud to call my friend
I pray the road will take a turn
And we'll sing this song again

CH

Now if I find a resting place
Before I'm back this way
Or if the road be just too long
And my feet have turned to clay
If from tonight you do recall
Just one line from this song
Then even if our roads do end
This song will travel on
