Verse I:
Am               Dm
If I should go before you
G                      Dm
  When that long night comes
      Am               Dm
We'll meet in the ever-after
             G                  Am
Please don't follow me into the sun
Am                      Dm
If you should cross the white light
G                           Dm
   And find yourself in the black
     Am                Dm
I'll be right there, behind you
         G                    Am
You will have no need to look back

Chorus:
              Dm                   G
And when that night cries itself, awake
Dm                     G
Dying, in the light of day
    Dm                  G
Our endless love will remain
  Dm     C     Am (see riff below*)
Until we meet again

*Chorus riff (single notes):
    'Un-til we  meet  a----gain'  
        Dm      C          Am

Verse II:
Am               Dm
If I should go before you
G                  Dm
  Into the great unknown
     Am                     Dm
I'll leave my ghost right beside you
          G            Am
You won't have to wait alone—

Chorus:
              Dm                   G
And when that night cries itself, awake
Dm                     G
Dying, in the light of day
Dm                      G
Our endless love will remain
     (riff)
Until we meet ?

Final Chorus:
Dm                G
Crying ourselves awake
Dm                     G
Dying, in the light of day
Dm                      G
Our endless love will remain
(riff)         Am (fade out)
Until we meet again
