MY EPITAPH
(Ola Belle Reed)

(capo up third fret play in Amin)


When I go from this life, let me go in peace
I don't want your marble at my head and feet

Don't gather round me, just to weep and moun
For where I'm goin I won't be alone

The flowers you gave me, please give them today
Don't waste their beauty, on cold lifeless clay

One rose with love, oh it could do so much good
I think all would give it , If they just understood

God gives life freely, then he takes away
What we do for each other, oh let us do it today

We have no promise that tomorrow will come
Don't sing my praises after I'm gone

instrumental break

When life has departed it's not me anymore
Just a form that has suffered, A still heart that was so

For the soul that has blossomed, oh I don't need you anymore
So let it go freely to God's evermore



love, harpgirl

If somebody with chords doesn't catch this for you within a couple days, I'll give it a good listen and see what I can come up with.

Hi, Mary -
I moved you over to this thread, where you posted a couple of days ago. Starting new threads just adds to the confusion - better to refresh an old request.
