Four Poster Bed chords by Brenda Lee

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
It was just some boards of rough cut pine

C majorC             G+G
And a quilt of patch work cotton

G+G
A augmentedA place to lay your body down

     D7D7       G+G
Was that big four poster bed


G+G
Daddy built it out of pine

  C majorC        G+G
Two days before the wedding

G+G
They say the neighbors cheered and hollered

A7A7        D7D7
Till his face got red

  G+G
And Mama brought the feather pillows

C majorC         G+G
And some handmade bedding

G+G
And they spent their wedding night

    D7D7       G+G
In that big four poster bed


G+G
That night they swore like that bed

   C majorC        G+G
Their love would last forever

G+G
And they'd ask no more of life

  A7A7           D7D7
Than the simple things they had

  G+G
So they planed there future

  C majorC         G+G
As they laid close together

G+G
And later I was born there

    D7D7       G+G
In that big four poster bed


    C majorC
It was just some boards of rough cut pine

C majorC             G+G
And a quilt of patch work cotton

 C majorC         G+G
A augmentedA place to lay your body down

 A7A7         D7D7
A augmentedA place to rest your head


C majorC
A augmentedA field of fluffy mountains

C majorC          G+G
For a little girl to hide in

G+G
Clouds and chasing rainbows

     D7D7       G+G
Was that big four poster bed


G+G
I remember as a child waking up

C majorC      G+G
On a winter morning

G+G
With Sound of laughing voices

  A7A7         D7D7
And the smell of baking bread


  G+G
And running across that coal wood floor

C majorC         G+G
Jumping there with them

G+G
And Lord I felt so safe and warm

    D7D7       G+G
In that big four poster bed


G+G
The day that daddy died

  C majorC              G+G
He whispered something soft to mama

G+G
To this day she's never told a soul

A7A7      D7D7
The words he said


  G+G
She just smiled through her tears

  C majorC         G+G
And held his hand and nodded


And my daddy looked so much at rest

    D7D7       G+G
In that big four poster bed


G+G
Now time has dried up all the tears

C majorC       G+G
Here I stand a woman

G+G
Your arms reach out to touch my soul

   A7A7         D7D7
Your sweet words turn my head


    G+G
Darling won't you tell me first

C majorC      G+G
This will be forever

G+G
Before you lead me up the stairs

    D7D7       G+G
To that big four poster bed


G+G
Cause only love has ever touched

   D7D7       G+G
That big four poster bed
