  			(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.
