CAPO 1
Intro: E A E A E B A E B E
Last night I had a dream, my dear;
I [A]dreamed I saw you a[E]gain.
Your smile was just as lovely as the [F#]day it all be[B]gan.
I [E]saw your face I kissed your lips I [A]felt your warm em[E]brace,
then I [A]woke up a[E]lone and [B]you were still [A]gone,
and the [E]loneliness [B]lied in your [E]place.
If [A]death is worse than [E]cryin'
because God took you [B]away,
then [A]why do I [E]long each [B]day to be [A]gone?
Life with[E]out you is [B]worse than the [E]grave.
Dobro solo: E A E F# B

If I had my way, I'd leave here today;
I'd [A]leave this old world here be[E]low;
I'd meet you up there in the land bright and fair,
Dear [F#]Lord, I'm ready to [B]go!
But I'll [E]have to wait for you, my dear,
till my [A]number is called to come [E]home.
Un[A]til that glad [E]day when [B]I hear you [A]say,
"My [E]Love you're no [B]longer [E]alone."
If [A]death is worse than [E]cryin'
because God took you [B]away,
then [A]why do I [E]long each [B]day to be [A]gone?
Life with[E]out you is [B]worse than the [E]grave.
If [A]death is worse than [E]cryin'
because God took you [B]away,
then [A]why do I [E]long each [B]day to be [A]gone?
Life with[E]out you is [B]worse than the [E]grave.
