Bill Monroe is probably most closely associated with this great Harold Hensley tune although it's been recorded by many people including John Fahey, Mike Seeger, and The Jerry Garcia (Old And In The Way).

The word find at the end of each verse is traditionally sung as fa-hind.

YOU'LL FIND HER NAME WRITTEN THERE

No more, no more she'll walk the earth,    (D, C, D)
Her face like a beautiful flower,    (D, C, A7)
But all alone on a marble stone,    (D, C, D, G)
You'll find her name written there.    (D, A7, D)

Her new voice rings where the angles sing,
Her voice so pure and so fair,
But if you look in the Heavenly Book,
You'll find her name written there.

I'm all alone since the call of fate,
Left me in the deepest despair,
But if you wait at the Pearly Gate,
You'll find her name written there.

I breathe her name into the air,
It goes I know not where,
But if you look in the heart of a friend,
You'll find her name written there.

You'll find her name written there.

Excuse me... In the previous post, I started to type The Grateful Dead and realized that would be misleading and decided to change it Jerry Garcia and negleted to delete the word the. I didn't mean to besmirch Jerry's memory by referring to him in the same way one might refer to The Donald.

Also, I assume everyone is familiar with the chord notation in which the letter in bold font represents the beat on which the chord is changed or re-emphasized.

This was recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford on June 21, 1949 for Capitol Records.

I really need a copy of this record or a download that I can tape. HELP. Jeepman

jeepman, You asked for lyrics and chords so I took the trouble to carefully build the HTML so you could have them in a nice useable format. If you really wanted a recording by Ol' Ern you should have said so to begin with and saved me the trouble.

And If you'd really rather hear Ford sing it than any of the people I mentioned then... well good luck to you.

Mark I apologize for my mistake. When I first asked, I thought I just needed Lyrics and chords. You were good enough to produce just that and I am grateful. When I showed this to my friend who wanted it, he says he wants to hear Ernie Ford sing it.

He is quite old and set in his ways. I hope you understand and will accept my apologies.

Sincerly, Jeepman

No problem, Jeepman. Sorry if I overreacted, I guess I'm just tired.

The liner notes for the "Breakdown" tape by "Old & In The Way" (Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, et al.) say
"Charlie Monroe, Bill's older brother, first recorded this haunting melody on RCA Victor in 1951. Bill's 1954 Decca recording, released as a single in 1957, didn't appear on LP until 1971 but was quite familiar to bluegrass audiences.
... David (Grisman) recorded it instrumentally on his first album in 1975."
