B Em B Em Am B7 The moon shines bright and the stars give a light Em Am B A little before it is day G C B C Am B7 The lord our god he forgave us Em Am Em Am Em And bids us awake and pray____ B Em B Em Am B7 The life of man is but a span Em Am B And cut down in its flower G C B C Am B7 We're here to-day, tomorrow gone Em Am Em Am Em The creatures of an hour____ B Em B Em Am B7 Today you may be alive and well Em Am B Worth many a thousand pound G C B C Am B7 Tomorrow dead and cold as clay Em Am Em Am Em Your corpse laid underground__ B Em B Em Am B7 With one turf at thine head, oh man Em Am B And another at thy feet G C B C Am B7 Thy good deeds and thy bad, oh man Em Am Em Am Em Will all together meet____ B Em B Em Am B7 My song is done, I must be gone Em Am B I can stay no longer here G C B C Am B7 God bless you all, both great and small Em Am Em Am Em And send you a joyful new year____
