With Body and Soul

1 b7 1
See that train coming ’round the bend
b7 5
Carrying the one that I love
1 4 1
Her beautiful body is still here on Earth
5 1
But her soul has been called above
 

1 b7 1 4
Body and soul body and soul
1 5 1
That’s how she loved me with body and soul
 

Her beautiful hair was as pure as gold
Her eyes were blue as the sea
Her lips was the color of summer’s red rose
And she promised she would always love me

Tomorrow as the sun sinks low
The shadows will cover her face
Her last sun goes down as she’s laid beneath the ground
And my teardrops are falling like rain
