Reba McEntire - Moving Oleta



INTRO: G+G  D MajorD G+G

C majorC    G+G      E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
               G+G
The nurse's saw an old woman crying
  E minorEm         D MajorD
But he saw the love of his life
  C majorC
She don't know where she is
    B minorBm        C majorC   B minorBm
But she knows this isn't home
     D MajorD     G+G
Love is a hard, hard road

C majorC              G+G
He met her in the summer of '37
   E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC
In a brush arbour down on the Rush Creek shore
                G+G
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile
    E minorEm        D MajorD
But she won him with her eyes
    C majorC
All the years and children grown
  B minorBm         C majorC   B minorBm
He still sees her the same
     D MajorD     G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Love is a hard, hard road


  C majorC            G+G
He woke up each morning and drove into town
  E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC
He stayed all day 'til her dinner came
                   G+G                E minorEm
Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker
              D MajorD
He covered her with a quilt that she'd made
   C majorC
Only Love and a couple of nurses
      B minorBm          C majorC   B minorBm
Helped the old man shoulder the load
     D MajorD     G+G
Love is a hard, hard road

BRIDGE:
      C majorC
And he said, "They tell me this is all that's left
                D/F#D/F#
Say, this hell on earth is best
         G+G               D/F#D/F#   C majorC
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it"
          G+G       C majorC
He cursed his body old and weak
         G+G
Tears of failure burned his cheek
      D/F#D/F#      G+G        E minorEm       C majorC    B minorBm
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day"
     D MajorD     G+G
Love is a hard, hard road


     C majorC              G+G
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death
     E minorEm       D MajorD     C majorC
When you fear the reaper might not come today
               G+G          E minorEm
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom
            D MajorD
The TV keeps the quiet away
  C majorC
She can't recall his name
       B minorBm       C majorC   B minorBm
And she's the only love he's known
     D MajorD     G+G    B minorBm
Love is a hard, hard road
     D MajorD     G+G     B minorBm
Love is a hard, hard road
