This song is especially touching being that Johnny and June
are both now together "on that beautiful shore".
Verse 1:
C C7 F
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
C G G7
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
C C7 F
Till we gather in Heaven's bright city
C G C
Far away on that beautiful shore
C C7 F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C G G7
As we struggle through this world and its strife
C C7 F
There's another meeting place somewhere in Heaven
C G C
By the side of the river of life
Bridge:
F C
Where the charming roses bloom forever
C G G7
And where separation comes no more
C C7 F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C G C
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
C G C
Verse 2:
C C7 F
Oh they say we shall meet by the river
C G G7
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
C C7 F
And they say we'll be happy in Heaven
C G C
In the wonderful sweet by and by
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
C C7 F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C G C
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
