Chords for Bobby Russell / Bobby Goldsboro, 1968: Honey (45 rpm vinyl disc) - Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ See the tree, how big it's grown, but friend, it hasn't been too [D] long, it wasn't [G] big.
_ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] I laughed at her, [G] she got mad, [Dm] the first day that [G] she planted it [C] was just a twig. _ _ _
_ _ Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away [Dm] so it wouldn't [G] die.
_ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] Came running in, [G] all excited, [Dm]
slipped and [G] almost hurt herself, [C] and I laughed till I cried. _
_ [C] _ She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart, [Dm] and I [G] loved her so.
[Dm] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] And I [G] surprised her with a puppy, [Dm]
kept me up [G] all Christmas Eve, [C] two years ago. _ _
_ _ And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late, [D] cause I [G] would know
_ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ that she'd been sitting there and crying over some sad [C] and silly late, late show. _ _
And honey, [Dm] I miss [G] you, [Dm] and _ [G] I'm [C] being good _ _ _ _ _ to be with [G] you, [Dm] _
[G] if only [C] I could. _ _
_ _ She wrecked the car and she was sad, and so afraid that I'd be [Dm] mad, but [G] what the heck.
_ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] Though I pretended [G] hard to be, [Dm]
guess you could [G] say she saw through [C] me, and hugged my neck. _
_ _ I came home unexpectedly, and caught her crying needlessly, [Dm] in the [G] middle of the day.
[Dm] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] And it was [G] in the early [Dm] spring, when flowers [G] bloom and robins [C] sing, she went away. _ _
And honey, [Dm] I miss [G] you, _ [Dm]
and [G] _ [C] I'm being good, _ _ and I'd love [Dm] to be with you, [G] _ _ [Dm] _
[G] if only [C] I could.
_ [Em] _
_ [A] _ [D] One day while I was not at home, while she was there and all [Em] alone, the [A] angels came.
[Em] _
_ [A] _ [Em] Now all [A] I have is memories [Em] of honey, and _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ now my life's an empty state.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ [Em] A small cloud [A] passed over, _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ see the tree how big it _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ [Em] was.
The first day that she [A] planted it, [D] was just a twig. _ _
