    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
N.C.      G N.C.         D N.C.             G
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her


[Verse 1]
  G               C                 G
I listened as the preacher spoke of heroism
                        C    Bm    Am    D
Little did he know that last night I was there
            C               D                G
And I could tell him how it feels to hold an angel
C     D   G     C        D                  G
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her


[Chorus]
N.C.           G
And they sang "Softly and tenderly"
C                D       G
  And that's the way she was
              G
And they sang   "Precious mem'ries"
    A                  D
And that's what I have of
            G                C
The one who loved me more in one night
     G
Than I have ever been loved
C     D   G     C        D                  C   Em  Eb7
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her


[Verse 2]
Ab         Db          Ab
Softly and tenderly, I held her
                              Db Cm  Bbm     Eb
There's never been two people closer than we were
          Db
And if it ends right now
   Eb                  Db
At least   I've tasted heaven
Db    Eb  Ab    Db       Eb                 Ab
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her


[Chorus]
N.C.           Ab
And they sang "Softly and tenderly"
Db               Eb      Ab
  And that's the way she was
              Ab
And they sang   "Precious mem'ries"
    Bb                 Eb
And that's what I have of
            Ab               Db
The one who loved me more in one night
     Ab
Than I have ever been loved
Db    Eb  Ab    Db       Eb                 Ab
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her


[Outro]
Db    Eb  Ab    Db       Eb                 Db
While the choir sang the hymn, I thought of her
