Roy Acuff - The precious jewel

^GWay back in the hills, when a ^Cboy, I once w^Gandered Buried deep in her grave lies the ^Aone that I ^Dlove She was ^Gcalled from this earth, a ^Cjewel for ^Gheaven More precious than diamonds more ^Dprecious than ^Ggold.

^GA jewel here on earth, a ^Cjewel in ^Gheaven She'll brighten the kingdom ^Aaround God's great ^Dthrone May the angels have ^Gpeace, God ^Cbless her in ^Gheaven They've broken my heart and they ^Dleft me to ^Groam.

^GWhen a girl of sixteen, we ^Ccourted each ^Gother She promised someday to be-^Acome my sweet ^Dwife I bought ^G her the ring to ^Cwear on her fing^Ger But the angels they called her to ^Dheaven one ^Gnight.

^GA jewel here on earth, a ^Cjewel up in ^Gheaven She'll brighten the kingdom ^Aaround God's great ^Dthrone May the angels have ^Gpeace, God ^Cbless her in ^Gheaven They've broken my heart and they ^Dleft me to ^Groam.

^GThis world has it wealth, its' ^Ctrials and ^Gtroubles Mother earth holds her treasures of ^Adiamonds and ^Dgold But it can't hold the ^Gsoul of ^Cone precious ^Gjewel She's resting in peace with the ^Dheavenly ^Gfold.

^GMay the angels have peace, God ^Cbless her in ^Gheaven They've broken my heart and they ^Dleft me to ^Groam.
