Subject: ADD Version: Your Long Journey
Another song I'm preparing for the Rise Again Songbook. Here's my transcription from Doc Watson's My Dear Old Southern Home CD. Main difference is "pangs" instead of "pains." Also "happy days," not "ways."
YOUR LONG JOURNEY (Rosa Lee Watson)
God's given us years of happiness here Now we must part And as the angels come & call for you The pangs of grief tug at my heart D - A - / G D - / D - A D / A D G D
Oh my darling, my darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey A* - D* - / A D G D *fermata
Oh the days will be empty, the nights so long Without you my love And as God calls for you I'm left alone But we will meet in heaven above
Fond memories I'll keep of the happy days That on earth we trod And when I come we will walk hand in hand As one in Heaven in the family of God
