Three Wooden Crosses (Live At Studio C, Gaither Studios, Alexandria, IN/2018) Chords

[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _
Farmer and a [Ab] teacher, [Bbm] a hooker and a [Db] preacher,
[Gb] Riding on a [Db] midnight bus bound for Mexico.
[Ab]
[Db] One was headed for [Ab] vacation, [Bbm] one for higher education,
[Gb] [Dbm] And two of [Ab] them were searching [Db] for lost souls.
[Ebm] That driver never ever [Ab] saw the stop sign,
And [Ebm] eighteen wheelers can't stop [Db] on a dime.
[Ab] _
[Db] There are three wooden [Fm] crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Db] of the highway,
[Gb] Why there's not four of [Db] them heaven [Ab] only [Db] knows.
It's not what you [Fm] take [Bbm] when you leave this [Db] world behind you,
[Gb] It's what you [Ab] leave behind you [Db] when you go. _
That farmer left a [Ab] harvest, [Bbm] a home and eighty [Db] acres,
[Gb] Faith and love for growing [Db] things in his [Ab] young son's heart.
[Db] That teacher left her [Ab] wisdom [Bbm] in the minds of lots of children,
[Gb] And did her best to [Ab] give them all a [Db] better start.
[Ebm] And that preacher whispered, can't you [Ab] see the promised land,
As he [Ebm] laid that bloodstained Bible in that [Ab] hooker's hand.
There [Db] are three wooden [Fm] crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Db] of the highway,
[Gb] Why there's not four of [Db] them heaven [Ab] only [Db] knows.
It's not what you [Ab] take when [Bbm] you leave this world [Db] behind you,
[Gb] It's what you [Ab] leave behind you when [Db] you go. _
[Bbm] That's the story that [Ab] our preacher [Gb] told last Sunday,
_ [Db]
As he held that bloodstained Bible up [Ab] for all of us to see,
He said, bless [Bbm] the farmer [Ab] and the teacher [Gb] and the preacher,
Who [Ebm] gave this Bible to my mama, [Ab] who read it to [Eb] me.
[Ab] _ _ There [Db] are three wooden [Ab] crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Db] of the highway,
_ [Gb] [Db] Why there's not four of them, now I guess [Ab] we know.
[Db] It's not what you take [Ab] when [Bbm] you leave this world [Db] behind you,
[Gb] It's what you leave [Ab] behind you when you [Db] go.
There are three wooden [C] crosses [Bbm] on the right [Ab] side of the highway.
