This is sort of like for a studio jam. I'm not sure if the words are correct. Capo on 1st fret. When King Jesus Calls His Children Home Intro: G D G C G D G G When they plant me like a seed in the ground G7 Silent sleepin' in some old gray vine C G I'll be just like a rose, just waitin' for the spring D G 'Cause I'm a gonna rise up, rise up and shout and sing G 'Cause ain't no grave gonna hold my body down G7 When I hear, hear that trumpet sound C G I know I've been a dyin', since the day that I was born D G But now I live for that resurrection boy **Chorus** G When king Jesus calls his children home G7 When king Jesus calls his children home C I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown G I'm a gonna put on a starlite crown D G When king Jesus calls his children home ****** G Like a bird in a cage that's been set free G7 My soul is seen through out eternity C G I shed this mourning shell (Oh let ol' satan stay in hell) D G I'll see glory that no mutant can tell **Repeat Chorus** You know not the hour You know not the day Soul behold by children hide and watch and pray G D G When king Jesus calls his children home ***Repeat chorus*** *repeat chorus, but with no guitar*Home
