intro : – C , D x5

G ( let ring for entire of this verse )
anxious nights give way to daylight
she don’t cry and she don’t complain
to honor , cherish , protect and keep you
she took your problems and took your name

D G D G
all she wants to do is stroll down the island
D G C D
she don’t care if there’s wind or there’s rain
G D G
only a women of her stature
D G C D
could shield you from the venom of this town’s disdain

G D G
as she waits patiently by the window
D G C D
she knows you’ll be coming home soon
G D G D
she’ll sit quiet there and won’t go
G C D
her dedication can’t be moved
G D G D G
she hears the echoes marching down “a” street
G C D
like footsteps on the cobblestone
G D G
a pace to heavy to be her master
D G C D
they pass her by and she’s still alone

Am G C D
and she’ll wait by your side
Am G C D
she’ll never let you out of her sight
Am G C D
and she’ll wait by your side ,
Am G C D
you’re the one thing that matters in her life
