  			This song is especially touching being that Johnny and June  
are both now together "on that beautiful shore". 
 
 
Verse 1: 
            C           C7             F 
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey 
        C                         G  G7 
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore 
         C         C7              F 
Till we gather in Heaven's bright city 
      C           G          C 
Far away on that beautiful shore 
 

       C           C7                F 
If we never meet again this side of Heaven 
        C                                   G     G7 
As we struggle through this world and its strife 
          C              C7                 F 
There's another meeting place somewhere in Heaven 
        C           G        C 
By the side of the river of life 
 
 
Bridge: 
            F                     C 
Where the charming roses bloom forever 
            C                  G   G7 
And where separation comes no more 
       C           C7                F 
If we never meet again this side of Heaven 
        C                 G        C 
I will meet you on that beautiful shore 
 
 
C  G  C 
 
 
Verse 2: 
         C            C7          F 
Oh they say we shall meet by the river 
           C                           G    G7 
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky 
          C            C7       F 
And they say we'll be happy in Heaven 
        C          G          C 
In the wonderful sweet by and by 
 
 
 
(REPEAT CHORUS) 
 
 
(REPEAT BRIDGE) 
 
 
       C           C7                F 
If we never meet again this side of Heaven 
        C                 G        C 
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
