There ain't no grave can hold my body down
(riff 1)
                    Gsus2     A5           D5
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down


     D5
When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna rise right out of the ground
              Gsus2     A5           D5
Ain't no grave Can hold my body down


           D5
Well, look way down the river

What do you think I see

I see a band of angels

And there coming after me


                    Gsus2     A5           D5
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down
                    Gsus2     A5           D5
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down


           D5
We'll look down younder Gabriel

Put your feet on the land and see

But Gabriel don't blow your trumpet

Till you hear from me


                    Gsus2     A5           D5
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down
                    Gsus2     A5           D5
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down

Well meet me Jesus, meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

And if these wings don't fail me

I will meet you anywhere

And Mama you know that I'll be there
