[Verse 1]
C                                   F
It was a cold and a rainy night the lodgin’ bell rang
     C           Am           F
Come open up and let us in my darlin’s done
        C              G              Am              F         F
We have come along the rocky road the young voice did call
       C            F            G            C           C
Let us lie down and rest and bid peace to you all
 
[Verse 2]
C                               F
But there came no reply so they slowly moved on
    C      Am             F
Not even a light there to guide the forlorn
      C            G            Am            F            F
As he steadied her shoulder, he sang soft and low
           C            F             G         C          C
Should the Lord take my darlin then I also must go
 
[Chorus]
C                              F           C
To that Heavenly shore, In the light we’ll arrive
C                Am           F
We have only our love here to keep us alive
C               G               Am        F           F
If all else has failed us we’ll travel no more
        C            F             G        C
We will bathe in the light of that heavenly shore
 
[Verse 3]
C                               F
Oh the young woman stumbled and finally she fell
        C          Am               F
And her husband he cried out in the anguish of hell
      C              G            Am        F            F
As he held her close to him, in a moment of grace
  C           F               G             C
A hound moved beside them and licked at her face.
 
[Bridge]
       Am                      F
Now the husband was angry as he railed at the hound
        Am                            F                      F
But his sweetheart was smiling as she slowly came round
   C       G            Am            F            F
Oh I had a dream, I had made heaven’s gate
          C          F            G          C
There was no sign of you, so they told me to wait
 
[Chorus]
C                              F            C
On that Heavenly shore, In the light we’ll arrive
C                Am           F
We have only our love here to keep us alive
   C            G               Am        F           F
If all else has failed us we’ll travel no more
        C            F             G        C            C
We will bathe in the light of that heavenly shore
 
[Outro]
C                              F           C
Oh that Heavenly shore, In the light we’ll arrive
C                  Am           F                   F
We have always our love here to keep us alive
   C           G               Am          F          F
So help me for we still have a long way to go
             C            F             G        C         C
Before we’ll bathe in the light of that heavenly shore
Am                             F                     F
So help me for we still have such a long way to go
             C            F             G        C
Before we’ll bathe in the light of that heavenly shore
