Sad song by Rosa, still a good one though.
C
She said she felt an aching,
Em Am C G
And went to lay down and died in her room, alone.
C
He said he tried to wake her,
Em Am
Oh, how he tried, but she didn't move
C G
And he was in the T.V. room.
C C C C Am G
Maybe on that day he loved her more than his own life
C C C C Am G
And maybe on that day he wished it was he who could have died
Am Em Am
Maybe on that day he felt his body disappear into the space
C G C
Next to her on the bed.
C Em Greg grew up under his dad's hand Am C G Pushing tractors, pushing snuff into his face out in the field, C Em But the doctors said his gut just wasn't fixable right now Am C G And anyway, a country man can't pay those city bills. C C C C Am G Well my uncle and aunt...they put him up in a hospital room. C C C C Am G And I remember they spent every night there in that hospital room Am Em One day he said "Daddy, I see God, but I just ain't ready to go. Am C G C But Grampa's at my shoulder, and he swears I'm not alone." Instrumental bit: C Am G C Am G Am Em Am C G C C Em Am C G C Well on that day, I saw my uncle cry for his dead son. C Em Am We were all left alone, without a flag and gun salute C G And I held my sister's hand as we sat silent in the pew. C C C C Am G Oh Katie, Katie, Katie, you spoke beautifully that day, Em And I'm sure you know that firm handshake G C (once) Meant more than he could ever ever say.
