I'll Be Home Some Day

(intro) D A D

             D                                  A      D
    I was standing by the bedside of a neighbour,
                                                                     A
    who was just about to cross the swelling tide,
       D                                 A      D
    I asked if she would do me a favour,
                                                A       D        D A D
    just take a message to the other side.

                D                                   A                 D
    If you see my savior, tell Him that you saw me,
                                                        A
    when you saw me I was on my way.
                       D                                              A        D
    You may meet some old friends who may ask about me,
                                         A                  D    D A D A D
    just tell them I'll be be home some day.

                       D                                    A          D
    Now you'll have to take this journey on without me,
                                                                A
    it's a debt that soon or later must be paid.
               D                                  A       D
    If you see my savior don't forget to tell Him,
                                           A      D     D A D A D
    don't forget to tell him what I say.

                       D                                 A          D
    You may chance to see my father or my mother,
                                                            A
    or some friends who have gone before,
                      D                                 A           D
    you may chance to see my sister or my brother,
                                           A        D
    but try to see my savior first of all.
