Chords with lyrics

Capo on 1st fret

C majorC
Goldenrod and the 4h stone,
  G+G
the things I brought you
       G+G
when I found out you had cancer of the bone.

C majorC
Your father cried on the telephone,
    G+G
and he drove his car into the navy yard,
         G+G
just to prove that he was sorry.

    C majorC
In the morning, through the window shade,
     G+G
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,
      G+G
I could see what you were reading.

    C majorC
All the glory that the Lord has made,
    G+G
and the complications you could do without,
        G+G
when I kissed you on the mouth.

C majorC
Tuesday night at the Bible study,
  G+G
we lift our hands and pray over your body,
        G+G
but nothing ever happens.

C majorC
I remember at Michael's house,
    G+G
in the living room when you kissed my neck,
       G+G
and I almost touched your blouse.

    C majorC
In the morning at the top of the stairs,
     G+G
when your father found out what we did that night,
      G+G
and you told me you were scared.

    C majorC
All the glory when you ran outside,
     G+G
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied,
       G+G
and you told me not to follow you.

G+G

C majorC
Sunday night when I cleaned the house,
 G+G
I find the card where you wrote it out,
      G+G
with the pictures of your mother.

C majorC
On the floor at the great divide,
    G+G
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
       G+G
I am crying in the bathroom.

    C majorC
In the morning when you finally go,
    G+G
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
          G+G
and the cardinal hits the window.

    C majorC
In the morning in the winter shade,
   G+G
on the first of March on the holiday,
      G+G
I thought I saw you breathing.

    C majorC
All the glory that the Lord has made,
    G+G
and the complications when I see His face,
      G+G
in the morning in the window.

    C majorC
All the glory when he took our place,
    G+G
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
         G+G
