E5                    A5     D5
in the middle of my mourning
       E5                  A5  D5
sits joy like a happy child
E5                       A5   D5
in the middle of this death
         E5                    A5  D5
i must cry with life for a while

That's how all the verses go, along with the intro thingie.

and death is great

we are in his keep, laughing an whole

when we feel deep in life

he dares weep, deep in our soul


E5               E5  A5 (I play it as an A5 )
and you are gone
      E5               E5  A5 )
but you are perfect now
       E5            E5  A5 )
and you like to dress
           F#5          B5       A5     F#5   B5  A5
you wear dresses that never fade

(I think the B5 is a B5 but I'm not sure)

and you are gone
(my mother cried she said you'd gone away)
but you are perfect now
(and now a part of me must do the same)
and you like to dress
(but i know i must be thankful that)
you wear dresses that never fade
you wear dresses that never fade
