D                       A
He was, he was in the churchyard
D                     A
My father was in the first part
D                       A
He came, he came to my bedroom
    E         D
But I was asleep
 E         D            D A D A
He woke me up again to say:

And I hope, I hope you are tired out
And I know, I know there is joy endowed
But I was asleep
And he woke me up again
And he woke me up again to say:

Hold on, hold on to your old ways
Or put off, put off every old face
And I know, I know you are changed now
I hope, I hope you're arranged out
But I'm still asleep
And you woke me up again
And I'm still asleep
But you woke me up to be holy
