verse 1 

         D 
There's a land beyond the river 
        G                D  
That we call the sweet forever 
                                        A7 
And we only reach that shore by fate's decree 
                         D  
One by one we'll gain the portals 
        G                D 
There to dwell with the immortals 
                    G      D         A7      D  G D 
When they ring those golden bells for you and me 


         G 
Don't you hear the bells now ringing 
         D           
Don't you hear the angels singing 
                            A7 
It’s a glory hallelujah jubilee 
 

        D 
In that far off sweet forever 
     G                  D 
Just beyond the shining river 
                    G      D         A7      D G D   
When they ring those golden bells for you and me

verse 2 

D 
When our days shall know their number 
          G             D 
When in death we sweetly slumber 
                                       A7 
When the King commands the spirit to be free 
                      D 
Nevermore with anguish labor 
        G                 D 
We shall reach that lovely haven 
         D          G      D         A7      D  G D 
When they ring those golden bells for you and me 
 

          G 
Don't you hear the bells now ringing 
          D         
Don't you hear the angels singing 
                         A7 
This glory hallelujah jubilee 
 

        D 
In that far off sweet forever 
     G                  D 
Just beyond the shining river 
                     G      D         A7      D  
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
