Capo 7th fret

intro: Mandolin

When I hear that trumpet sound
I will lay my burdens down            }1st verse is just lead and mandolin
I will lay them deep into the ground
Then I'll know that I am glory bound


(Guitar comes in) GCGCDEmGDCG(this is verse 2)

G5                         C5
I'll be traveling far from home
G5                            C5
But I won't be looking for to roam
D5                          E5    G5       
I'll be crossing o'er the great divide
D5                        C5      G5
In a better home soon I will reside


G5    C5  G5
Hallelujah
G   *C   Bm A  C*               *This is just walking from C back up to C*
Hallelu--u--u--jah              *Walking is playing individual notes on a 
G    C  G                        string. So C B A are the notes that you play 
Hallelujah                       on the A string. The ones on hallelujah that  
G    C   Bm A  G                 I wrote were the chords but I play the
Hallelu--u--u--jah               notes. It's easier than it sounds.*


G5                      C5 
When I'm in my resting place
G5                        C5
I'll look on my mother's face
D5                 E5       G5
Never more will I have to know
D5                       C5          G5
All the loneliness that plagues me so

G5                                C5
So I'm waiting for that train to come
G5                             C5
And I know where she's coming from
D5                       E5     G5
Listen can you hear her on the track
D5                       C5       G5
When I board I won't be looking back


G5    C5  G5
Hallelujah
G5    C5   B5 A5  C5
Hallelu--u--u--jah
G5    C5  G5
Hallelujah
G5    C5   B5 A5  G5
Hallelu--u--u--jah        (Repeat)
