    You left on a Saturday                In her hands you passed away
   Am/F#             G                  C  C/B  Am               Am/F#    G
On seashores we laughed and played               Only months ago

Am    Am/F#        G          C  C/B  Am                    Am/F#         G            C   C/B  Am
   And I know you tried so hard                To heal the space between our hearts

  Swing low to the ground For we have lost our father’s crown
Em  Am   Am/F#    G                      C          F           
  Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn
               C              G                    Am    Am/F#   G   C   C/B   Am   Am/F#   G
And your spirit took flight From the world

  We gathered the sticks and leaves           To set aflame our memories
       Am/F#   G             C  C/B  Am                  Am/F#    G
 Your family gathered around            To lay your ashes down
Am    Am/F#            G             C  C/B  Am         Am/F#           G            C   C/B  Am
    Sing treetops and clap your hands      For the grace in this sorrowful plan
       Am/F#                G             C  C/B  Am      Am/F#              G
  That night when one candle remained       We whispered your name


Em      Am  Am/F# G              C          F            C           G                          
  Swing low to the ground For we have lost our father’s crown
Em  Am   Am/F#    G                      C          F           
  Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn
               C              G                    Am    Am/F#   G   C   C/B   Am   Am/F#   G
And your spirit took flight From the world
