Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C majorC  DmDm  C majorC  DmDm

Verse 1:
      C majorC
He looked whittled down like the edges of a worn out blade

In that suit and tie he looked so out of place
FF
Standin' there off too himself just looking down
    C majorC
at the flowers that covered up that red clay mound
  DmDm               G+G
I asked him Grandpa are you gonna be alright?
  Dm7Dm7               G+G
He looked at me and wiped away them sad old eyes

Chorus:
     C majorC               FF     G+G       C majorC
He said: How do you say goodbye, to the only gal that you ever loved?
                          FF   G+G         C majorC
How do you sleep at night when you're the only one left to pull those covers up
      E7E7                 A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
And when I wake up in the morning, how will I face the day knowing that she won't be here
        FF              G+G                C majorC    DmDm
You know it's just a part of life, but son how do you say goodbye to sixty years?

Interlude:

Verse 2:
    C majorC
It took every ounce of strength for him to walk away
            G+G
And I'd never seen him look that weak until that day
        FF
He said you'll always be that blue-eyed angel in my mind
  C majorC           G+G        C majorC
It broke my heart when he said "I won't be far behind"
  DmDm                G+G
I hugged his neck and then I opened that car door
  DmDm                  G+G
Before he sat down he turned around and said once more

Chorus:
     C majorC                FF    G+G       C majorC
He said: How do you say goodbye, to the only gal that you ever loved?
                      FF        G+G         C majorC
How do you sleep at night when you're the only one left to pull those covers up
      E7E7                 A minorAm          G+G        D MajorD
And when I wake up in the morning, how will I face the day knowing that she won't be here
        FF              G+G                FF
