[Verse 1]
C
I am going to a city
G7                           C
Where the streets are golden laid
F                             C
Where the tree of life is blooming
Dm      G7          C
And the roses never fade.

[Chorus]
F                         C
Here they bloom but for a season
G7                   C
Soon their beauty is decayed
C    F          C  Am
I am going to a ci-ty
G7                    C
Where the roses never fade.

[Verse 2]
In this world we have our troubles
G7                   C
Satan snares we must evade
F                         C
We will free from all temptation
G7                    C
Where the roses never fade.

[Chorus]
F                         C
Here they bloom but for a season
G7                   C
Soon their beauty is decayed
C    F          C  Am
I am going to a ci-ty
G7                    C
Where the roses never fade.

[Verse 3]
F                           C
Loved one's gone to be with Jesus
G7                      C
In their robes of white array
F                         C
They are waiting for my coming
G7                    C
Where the roses never fade.

[Chorus]
F                         C
Here they bloom but for a season
G7                   C
Soon their beauty is decayed
C    F          C  Am
I am going to a ci-ty
G7                    C
Where the roses never fade.
