TWELFTH OF JUNE  by Lyle Lovett

Intro:
G

Verse:
     Em                      G
Before  spring turned into  summer
     Em                    G
After  night turned into  day
          Em                 G
They were  born on Monday  morning
       Em             D    G
In the  days just  after  May
       Em            D      G
In the  days just  after  May

Chorus:
     D                  G
By the  banks of San Jacinto
          D            G
Play for  me a happy  tune
       Em                  G
And of  all the days I  loved
       Em            D       G
I loved  best the  12th of  June
       Em            D       G
I loved  best the  12th of  June

Verse:
     Em                      G
He was strong across his shoulders
     Em              G
She was delicate of skin
          Em               G
And their mother lay there ashen
       Em         D     G
As we held them to our breast
       Em        D     G
As we held them to our breast

Chorus:
     D                  G
By the  banks of San Jacinto
          D            G
Play for  me a happy  tune
       Em                  G
And of  all the days I  loved
       Em            D       G
I loved  best the  12th of  June
       Em            D       G
I loved  best the  12th of  June

Verse:
     D                   G
All I  am I'd gladly  give them
     D                   G
All I  am they will exceed
   Em                   G
One  thing I know for  sure
         Em            D       G
Is they improve the  likes of  me
           Em           D     G
They make a  better  man of  me

     D                   G
So to my father and my mother
     D                    G
And all our fathers gone before
   Em                   G
There are those who walk above us
         Em       D     G
Who remember that we were
     Em            D       G
They will remember that we were

     D                      G
And to these beautiful two children
     D                     G
And to my sweet and tender wife
   Em                   G
I will love you three forever
     Em            D      G
Through I fly beyond this life
     Em            D      G
Through I fly beyond this life

      D                   G
By the  banks of San Jacinto
         D                 G
When they  lay me in my  tomb
   Em                  G
Of  all the days I  loved
       Em            D           G
I loved  best the  12th of  June

      D                   G
By the  banks of San Jacinto
         D                 G
When they  lay me in my  tomb
   Em                  G
Of  all the days I  loved
    Em            D         G
There are so many days I've loved
   Em           D      G
