  			Verse 1 
     A 
Oft I sing for my friends 
  D                   A 
As death's cold form I see 
      A                  D  
When I reach my journey's end 
        A    E   A 
Who will sing for me 
 
 
Chorus:  
 E                A   
I wonder (I wonder)who 
    E                    A 
will sing (will sing) for me 
      A                         D   
When I come to the cross of that silent sea 
        A    E   A 
Who will sing for me 
 
 
Verse 2: 
         A 
As friends shall gather round 
   D            A 
And look down on me 
         A             D  
Will they turn and walk away 
             A        E       A 
Or will they sing one song for me. 
 
Chorus 
 
Repeat last two lines of the Chorus to end, with a pause on the word "sea".
