[Intro 1]
[Em][Esus4][Em][Esus4][Em]

[Verse 1]
In [Em]the spring of
1856, with the snow still on [Esus4]the ground[D]
Two [A]little boys [Esus4]were lost [Em]in
the mountains [A]above [Em]the town
The father went out hunting,
the boys had stayed be[D]hind
While [A]mother tended to her chores,
[Em]they wandered from her side

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Esus4][Bm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]The two had gone to follow him
and lost their way in[D]stead
By [A]dusk the boys had not been [Em]found
and fear had [A]turned to [Em]dread
Two hundred men had gathered there
to comb the mountain[D]side
[A]The fires were built on the highest [Em]peak
in [D]hopes they'd [A]see the light
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Oh [A]mommy and daddy,
why [Em]can't you hear our cries?
The day is almost over,
soon it [D]will be [Em]night
[A]We're so cold and hungry,
and our [Em]feet are tired [Bm]and sore
We [C]promise not to [D]stray again from our
[Bm]cabin [Em]door

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Bm][Esus4][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Now [Em]Jacob Diverd woke one night
from a strange and eerie [D]dream
He [A]saw a path between [Em]two hills near
a dark [A]and swollen [Em]stream
He told his wife he saw the boys
huddled close beside a lo[D]g
For [A]two more nights the [Em]dream returned
this [D]vision [A]sent from God
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Oh [A]mommy and daddy,
why [Em]can't you hear our cries?
The day is almost over,
soon it [D]will be [Em]night
[A]We're so cold and hungry,
and our [Em]feet are tired and [Bm]sore[Esus4]
[Bm]We p[C]romise not to st[D]ray again fr[G]om our c[Bm]abin d[Em]oor

[Verse 6]
[Em]A thousand men had searched in vain the
west side of pop's [D]creek[Esus4][D]
But [A]Jacob's wife knew [Em]of this
place [D]and said to [A]travel [Em]east
With a guide to take him there Jacob
came upon [D]the scene[Esus4]
[D]And [A]found the boys [Em]cold and still
be[D]neath the [A]old birch tree
[Em]

[Verse 7]
Oh [A]mommy and daddy,
look [Em]past the tears you cry
We're both up in Heaven
now, God is [D]by our [Em]side
[A]As you lay us down to rest in the
[E]pres[Em]ence of the [Bm]Lord
[Em]Know[C] that we will meet[D] you
[G]here at [Bm]Heaven's [Em]door

[Verse 8]
Oh [A]mommy and daddy,
look [Em]past the tears you cry
We're both up in Heaven now,
God is [D]by our [Em]side
And [A]as you lay us down to rest in
[Em]the presence of [Bm]the Lord
[C]Know that we will [D]meet you [G]here at [Em]Heaven's
