capo on 1st fret

D C
goldenrod and the 4h stone ,
Am G
the things i brought you
D C Am G
when i found out you had cancer of the bone .

D C
your father cried on the telephone ,
Am G
and he drove his car into the navy yard ,
D C Am G
just to prove that he was sorry .

D C
in the morning , through the window shade ,
Am G
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade ,
D C Am G
i could see what you were reading .

D C
all the glory that the lord has made ,
Am G
and the complications you could do without ,
D C Am G
when i kissed you on the mouth .

D C
tuesday night at the bible study ,
Am G
we lift our hands and pray over your body ,
D C Am G
but nothing ever happens .

D C
i remember at michael’s house ,
Am G
in the living room when you kissed my neck ,
D C Am G
and i almost touched your blouse .

D C
in the morning at the top of the stairs ,
Am G
when your father found out what we did that night ,
D C Am G
and you told me you were scared .

D C
all the glory when you ran outside ,
Am G
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied ,
D C Am G
and you told me not to follow you .

D / C / Am / G / D / C / Am / G

D C
sunday night when i cleaned the house ,
Am G
i find the card where you wrote it out ,
D C Am G
with the pictures of your mother .

D C
on the floor at the great divide ,
Am G
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied ,
D C Am G
i Am crying in the bathroom .

D C
in the morning when you finally go ,
Am G
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low ,
D C Am G
and the cardinal hits the window .

D C
in the morning in the winter shade ,
Am G
on the first of march on the holiday ,
D C Am G
i thought i saw you breathing .

D C
all the glory that the lord has made ,
Am G
and the complications when i see his face ,
D C Am G
in the morning in the window .

D C
all the glory when he took our place ,
Am G
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face ,
D C Am G
and he takes , and he takes , and he takes .
