Precious Jewel (Roy Acuff)
F A# F
Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered
G C
Buried deep in her grave lies the one that I love
F A# F
She was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven
C F
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold.
[Chorus]
F A# F
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in heaven
G C
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
F A# F
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
C F
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.
[Verse 2]
F A# F
When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
G C
She promised someday to be-come my sweet wife
F A# F
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
C F
But the angels they called her to heaven one night.
[Chorus]
F A# F
A jewel here on earth, a jewel up in heaven
G C
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
F A# F
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
C F
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.
[Verse 3]
F A# F
This world has it wealth, its' trials and troubles
G C
Mother earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold
F A# F
But it can't hold the soul of one precious jewel
C F
She's resting in peace with the heavenly fold.
[End chorus]
F A# F
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
C F
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.
