This life is very sad to me,

a sorrow fills my heart

My story I will tell to you,

from me my love did part

The village church bell sadly tolled,
Bb Bbm A
the one I loved had died

She was a treasure more than gold
F C7 F
when she was by my side

But now she's gone beyond recall,

in a silent tomb she sleeps
F C
The one I love yet best of all

my dear and only Grace

I've yet a treasure in this world:
D7 G7 C
a picture of her face

It brings joy to me
Bb Bbm F
When oft-times sad at heart

Her picture I can see
G G7 C

Although my love is dead

My only darling Grace

My eyes are oft-times looking on

A picture of her face

I'll love her still when I am old
F C7 F
e'en to my dying day

But now I must content myself,

her memory to love

For Grace the darling of my heart
D7 G
is in the land above

But still to cheer me at my home

an image of dear Grace

a picture of her face

It brings joy to me

My only darling Grace

My eyes are oft-times looking on
