When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels - Hank Williams

Written and recorded by hank williams sr.



The [g] ceremony was [c] over

A [d7] lad stood alone in [g] tears

For he had just [c] said goodbye

To the [d7] one he had loved thru the [g] years.



He stood all alone with his head bowed down

As though his heart would break

Then the parson came over and took his hand

And to him these words he did say.



Chorus

When [g] god comes and gathers his [c] jewels







All his [d7] treasures of diamonds and [g] gold

You'll meet her up there in [c] heaven so fair

When [d7] god comes and gathers his [g] jewels.

(substitute i'll meet her.....on last chorus)



Each night when the pale moon is shining

You can see this lad all alone

With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven

He's repeating these words he was told.



Chorus

Écrit et enregistré par hank williams sr.



La [g] cérémonie était [c] terminée

Un [d7] garçon se tenait seul en [g] larmes

Car il venait juste de [c] dire au revoir

Au [d7] qu'il avait aimé pendant les [g] années.



Il se tenait tout seul avec la tête baissée

Comme si son c?ur se brisait

Puis le pasteur est venu et lui a pris la main

Et pour lui, il a dit ces mots.



Ch?ur

Quand [g] dieu vient et rassemble ses [c] bijoux







Tous ses [d7] trésors de diamants et [g] d'or

Vous la rencontrerez là-haut dans [c] le ciel si juste

Quand [d7] dieu vient et rassemble ses [g] bijoux.

(substitut, je vais la rencontrer ..... sur le dernier refrain)



Chaque nuit quand la pâle lune brille

Vous pouvez voir ce garçon tout seul

Avec ses yeux levés vers le ciel

Il répète ces mots qu'on lui a dit.
