Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: G     D/F#    Em      C     G 
 G     D/F#
On an icy road one night
 Ebdim  Em
Young man loses his life
 C             D               G     D
They marked the shoulder with a cross
 G            D/F#
An' his family gathers round
 Ebdim       Em
On a piece of Hallowed ground
 C                               D    
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
Em    D                     C     D
As the tears fall from their eyes
  Em                D         C   D
There's one who'll always sympathise.


Chorus
   G      D/F#          Em      D
  God only cries for the living
                 C               D            G   D
 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
   G         D/F#         Em      G/B
  An' all the angels up in Heaven
             C                        D
  They're not grieving because they're gone
           Em             D
  There's a smile on their faces
                G        
  'Cause they're in a better place than...
   C             D   C   D
  They've ever known
   G      D/F#           Em     D
   God only cries for the living
                 C               D            G
  'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.



It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.




 Chorus
   G      D/F#          Em      D
  God only cries for the living
                 C               D            G   D
 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
   G         D/F#         Em      G/B
  An' all the angels up in Heaven
             C                        D
  They're not grieving because they're gone
           Em             D
  There's a smile on their faces
                G        
  'Cause they're in a better place than...
   C             D   C   D
  They've ever known
   G      D/F#           Em     D
   God only cries for the living
                 C               D            G
  'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.
   C   D           Em
   Yeah so far from home.
