^GGracie found a job typin' for important business^Dmen And ^Csometimes all she could do Am G Gadd11 G Is stare out of the windows at the wildflowers ^GGracie cries at night, she looks upon the stars out in the ^Dsky She ^Csings to herself softly Am G Gadd11 G Sitting in a bathrobe on her windowsill Am G Gadd11 G Oh, Grace, Grace is gone Am G Gadd11 G Oh, Grace, Grace is gone
