[Verse]
D  G       D         G            G Bm
Because I could not stop for Death
    D      G          A
He kindly stopped for me
     G        D        G            Bm
The Carriage held but just Ourselves
    D     G    A
And Immortality
      D
Immortality
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D   G      D
We slowly drove
    G           Bm
He knew no haste
    D      G    A
And I had put away
    G     D      G         Bm
My labor and my leisure too
     D         G  A
For His Civility
 
 
[Chorus]]
    D
We passed the School
                Bm
Where Children strove
                  G
At Recess in the Ring
                                A
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain
    E      D   G  A    D
We passed the Setting Sun
 
                      Bm
Or rather He passed us
                                 G
The Dews drew quivering and chill
                            A
For only Gossamer, my Gown
    D     G     G  D  G      D  G  A
My Tippet only Tuuuuulle--u-ule
 
 
[Verse]
    G        D      G
We paused before a House that seemed
A  D               A
A Swelling of the Ground
     G        D        G     Bm
The Roof was scarcely visible
     D      G       A
The Cornice in the Ground
 
 
[Chorus]
       D                  A/C#   Bm7
Since then—’tis Centuries and yet
                        G
Feels shorter than the Day
                              A
I first surmised the Horses’ Heads
        E    D/F# G  A  D
Were towards  E--ter-ni-ty
 
       D           Bm7
’Tis Centuries and yet
                        G
Feels shorter than the Day
                              A
I first surmised the Horses’ Heads
               G     G  D  G  Bm    D  G  A
Were towards Eterni-tyyyyyyyyyyyy-y-y
         D      G  D  G  Bm  D  G  A
Towards eternity
 
 
[Outro]
 G     A     Bm7    A/C#   G      A     Bm      A/C#
Woooh ooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh ooooh ooooooh oooooh
 G     A     Bm7    A/C#   G      A     Bm7     A
Woooh ooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh ooooh ooooooh oooooh
