So Mournful The Elegy So Comforting The Hymn

This simple but beautiful song from the danish solo project "Hymns From Nineveh" by 
Jonas Petersen is from his first full length and self-titled album from 2011. Enjoy this 
great hymn!

G
An old man said
                   Am
"Live one day at a time
              C                  G
Who can add a day to his life by worrying?"


G
Though we're young
                      Am
We've seen what worry can do
      C                                 G
So embrace the worried songs we sing to you

Chorus:
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn

            G
we ought to sing
                   Am
When we lie in our beds
             C
In the quiet hour
            G
We remember what he said

G
But we're young
                          Am
And we've seen what worry can do
               Am/B    C                  G
So embrace the worried hearts we bring to you

Chorus x3:
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
