Dm       G      
Ain't no grave  
    Am           Dm    
Can hold my body down  
Dm             G      
There ain't no grave  
    Am           Dm    
Can hold my body down  
   
Dm                              
When I hear that trumpet sound  
          Dsus2                 Dm      
I'm gonna rise right out of the ground  
         G      
Ain't no grave  
    Am           Dm    
Can hold my body down  
   
Dm                      Dsus2  
Well, look way down the river  
    Dm                  Dsus2 
And what do you think I see  
  Dm            Dsus2   
I see a band of angels  
            Dm           Dsus2 
And they're coming after me  
   
Dm       G         Am           Dm    
Ain't no grave can hold my body down  
Dm             G         Am           Dm    
There ain't no grave can hold my body down  
   
Dm                      Dsus2    
Well, look down yonder, Gabriel  
         Dm                   Dsus2 
Put your feet on the land and sea  
    Dm                 Dsus2              
But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet  
   Dm                Dsus2 
Un-til you hear from me  
   
Dm       G         Am           Dm    
Ain't no grave can hold my body down  
Dm             G         Am           Dm    
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well meet me, Jesus, meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air  
    Dm                   Dsus2     
And if these wings don't fail me,  
Dm                  Dsus2  
I will meet you any-where

Ain't no grave can hold my body down

Meet me down the river road  
    Dm                  Dsus2          
And Mama, you know that I'll be there  
Dm                 Dsus2 
When I check in my load  
   
Dm       G         Am           Dm    
Ain't no grave can hold my body down  
Dm             G         Am           Dm    
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

There ain't no grave can hold my body down
