[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In a country [D]churchyard
there's [C]a preacher with his [G]people,
[C]Gathered all [G]around to [Am]join
a man and woman,
[D]Spr[G]ing is here and tur[D]tledoves
are [C]singing from [G]the steeple,
[C]Bees are in the flower[G]s,
[Am]growing in the grave[D]yard,
[B]And over [Em]the hill,
where the [C]river [D]meets [G]the mill,
A [C]lovely girl is [G]coming down,
To [Am]give her hand [D]upon her
wedding day
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Dressed in simple [D]white and
wearing [C]flowers in her [G]hair,
[C]Music as she [G]walks [Am]slowly to the al[D]tar,
And [G]picking up [D]his bible then the preach
[C]er turns to[G]wards her,
[C]"Will you take this [G]man to [Am]be
your wedded hus[D]band,
To [B]honor [Em]and love in [C]the eye
s of [D]God [G]above,
Now [C]let the people sing [G]with me,
These [Am]words to live [D]forever
in your [G]heart[C][G]
[C]Let [D]your [Em]love [Bm]shin[C]e on,[G]
For [Em]we are the s[Bm]tars in the sk[C]y,
Let [D]your [Em]love [Bm]shin[C]e strong,[G]
[C]Until the[D] day you fly[C]
[G]away"[C][G][D][C]
[G]Many years [D]have fallen on that
[Em]golden country morning,
[G]The[C] graveyard's overgrown,
[G]the chu[Am]rch lies in ruins[D],
[G]Ivy on [D]the walls and ravens
[Em]wheeling round [D]above me,
[G]As I mad[C]e my way tow[G]ards
the [Am]last remaining head[D]stone,
I [B]fell to my [Em]knees,
read [C]the lines be[D]neath [G]the leaves,
[C]And suddenly it seemed [G]to me,
I [Am]heard the words like
[D]singing in [G]the trees[C][G]
[C]Let [D]your [Em]love [Bm]shin[C]e on,[G]
For [Em]we are t[Bm]he stars in the sk[C]y,
Let your [D]love [Em]shin[Bm]e str[C]ong,[G]
[C]Until the[D] day you[C] fly
Let [D]your [Em]love [Bm]shin[C]e on,[G]
[Em]For we are t[Bm]he stars in [C]the sky,
Let your [D]love [Em]shin[Bm]e str[C]ong,[G]
[C]Until the[D] day you[C] fly awa[G]y[C]
