               SAUNDERS FERRY LANE
                  SAMMI SMITH


INTRO: Gm

VERSE:
 Gm
It's 66 and cloudy here this mornin'
 Eb                     F                  Gm
I'll make a bet those clouds will turn to rain
Gm
The weather's rusted out the sign

And almost missed the turn
         Eb               F             Gm
That'll take me down to Saunders Ferry Lane


VERSE:
Gm
The creekin' boards of the empty dock

Are the only sounds I hear
     Eb                   F
The sign on the catfish stand says
   Gm
"Closed till spring"


VERSE:
 Gm
Summer drown in the frozen lake

As the winter came to life
     Eb                F             Gm
And nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane
  Eb               F             Gm
Nothing moves in Saunders Ferry Lane


VERSE:
 Gm
Raindrops mingle with the leaves

That tumble to the ground
      Eb                 F
As I find my way to the spot
               Gm
Where we once lay


VERSE:
 Gm
But the grass is dead

The life is gone

And the birds have flown away
     Eb              F             Gm
It's awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb              F             Gm
Awful cold in Saunders Ferry Lane


BREAK:
Eb                    F
The gentle arms that held me
     Eb              F                  Gm
And made me want tomorrow now are, are gone
Eb                 F
We found so much comfort
        Eb               Bb
In the way we loved each other
         C
Then the angels came
                   F    Gm
As quietly as the dawn


VERSE:
  Gm
Standing by the water

In an icy winter wind
   Eb              F              Gm
I find no present comfort for my pain


VERSE:
 Gm
With no gentle arms to hold me now

I know there's nothin' worse
        Eb            F             Gm
Than a day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane
Eb               F             Gm
A day alone in Saunders Ferry Lane


VERSE:
Gm
It's 32, and raining here this evening
     Eb               F                 Gm
I'll make a bet that rain will turn to snow
 Gm
It's hard to see through the tears

And I almost missed the turn
      Eb              F              G
That leads away from Saunders Ferry Lane
      Eb              F              G
That leads away from Saunders Ferry Lane
