5 -4 4 4 -6 -6 6 5
I am going to a city
-4   -4     6     6    -5 -4   5
Where the streets with gold are laid
5   -4   4   4   -6 -6 6   5
Where the tree of life is blooming
-4 -4   6 6 -5 -4 4
And the roses never fade

Chorus:
-6   -6    -5 -5 -6 -6 6 5
Here they bloom but for a season
-4   -4    6 6 -5 -4 5
Soon their beauty is decayed
5 -4 4 4 -6 -6 6 5
I am going to a city
-4   -4   6 6 -5 -4 4
Where the roses never fade

Verse 2:
In this world we have our troubles
Satan’s snares we must evade
We’ll be free from all temptations
Where the roses never fade

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Loved ones gone to be with Jesus
In their robes of white arrayed
Now are waiting for my coming
Where the roses never fade

(Chorus)
