_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Goldenrod [Db] and the 4H stone, [Bbm] the things I [Ab] brought you when I found out you [Eb] had cancer.
_ [Ab] _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] Your father [Ab] [Bbm] cried on the telephone, and he drove his [Ab] car into the Navy Yard [Eb] just to prove that [Ab] he was [Db] sorry. _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ In the morning [Db] through the window shade, [Bbm] when the light pressed [Ab] up against your shoulder [Eb] blade, I could see what [Ab] you were reading.
[Db] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ All the [Eb] glory [Db] that the Lord has made, [Bbm] and the complications [Ab] you could do without [Eb] when I kissed you [Db] on the mouth.

_ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Tuesday [Db] night at the Bible study, [Bbm] we lift our [Ab] hands and pray over your [Eb] body, but nothing [Ab] ever [Db] happens.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ I [Db] remember at Michael's [Ab] house, [Bbm] in the living room, [Ab] when you kissed my neck [Eb] and I almost [Ab] touched [Db] your blouse.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ In the morning [Db] at the top of [Ab] the stairs, [Bbm] when your father found [Ab] out what we did that night, [Eb] and he told me [Ab] you [Db] were scared.
[Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] All the [Db] glory when you ran outside [Bbm] with your shirt tucked in [Ab] and your shoes untied, [Eb] and you told me [Ab] not to [Bbm] follow you.

_ _ [Eb] _ Sunday night [Db] when I clean the house, [Bbm] I find the [Ab] card where you wrote it out [Eb] with the pictures [Ab] of your [Db] mother. _
_ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ On the floor [Db] at the Great Divide, [Bbm] with my shirt tucked [Ab] in and my shoes [Eb] untied, I am crying in [Ab] the [Db] bathroom.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Eb] In the morning [Db] when you finally go, [Bbm] and the nurse runs in [Ab] with her head hung low, [Eb] and the card no longer hits [Ab] the [Db] window. _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] In the morning [Db] in the winter shade, [Bbm] on the first of March, [Ab] on the holiday,
[Eb] I thought I saw you [Bbm] breathing. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] All the [Db] glory that the Lord has made, [Bbm] and the complications [Ab] when I see his face, [Eb] in the morning in [Ab] the winter.
[Db] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] All the glory [Db] when he took our place, [Bbm] but he took my shoulders [Ab] and he shook my face, [Eb] and he takes and [Ab] he [Db] takes and he takes.

you [Eb] told me not to follow [Db] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] you.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Sunday [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] night _ when [Eb] I clean _ [Db] the [Ab] _
_ _ [Bbm] house, I [Fm] find the card where you wrote it out with the _ _ [Eb] _ pictures of your mother.
