I had never heard Molly O'Day do this song before, and it brought me to tears when I heard it last week. Recorded 1947. Anyone got chords?

I'll try this, but I usually screw it up.....

  Written and recorded by Hank Williams Sr.
  
  WHEN GOD COMES AND GATHERS HIS JEWELS
  
  The [G] ceremony was [C] over
  A [D7] lad stood alone in [G] tears
  For he had just [C] said goodbye
  To the [D7] one he had loved thru the [G] years.
  
  He stood all alone with his head bowed down
  As though his heart would break
  Then the Parson came over and took his hand
  And to him these words he did say.
  
  CHORUS
  When [G] God comes and gathers his [C] jewels
  All his [D7] treasures of diamonds and [G] gold
  You'll meet her up there in [C] heaven so fair
  When [D7] God comes and gathers his [G] jewels.
  (Substitute I'll meet her.....on last chorus)
  
  Each night when the pale moon is shining
  You can see this lad all alone
  With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
  He's repeating these words he was told.
  
  CHORUS

I've tried numerous times to open the site, and no-go. Does it have a lot of gospel stuff in there? Is there a table of contents page you can copy and paste for me to see?

PS Sorch-- when the chords are embedded like that in the text, you don't need to do the text-coding thingie. You only need that when the chords are floating in the line above the text.

I had to go to Google's cached page so I don't know. I can't keep all the chord add stuff straight, and I was pretty sure 'pre' would work, so I used it.

Here's a link to the Gospel Music Archive. There is a Table of contents. Do you want an e-mail of it?

Thanks, Burke. I can open that page, so I don't need it emailed.

The 3rd line in the chorus is: "You'll meet her up there up in heaven so fair."

Hank's recording is at HONKYTONK'S Country Classics - Hank William, Sr.: Special Deluxe Edition.
