Lauren Alaina - The locket

^G Back in '41^Em, you met a brown-eyed boy ^C Who called you prett^Gy ^G He'd walk everyday^Em, couple miles out of his way to h^Cold your hand And keep you compan^Gy

Your ^Emmama said don't c^Call it love at 1^G4 But s^Amittin' on that fr^Cont porch sw^Ding

He gave you his p^Gicture in a locket that you wore around your neck Left it r^Emight beside your heart so you would not forget The w^Cay it felt when he held your h^Gand And you sw^Gore that you would never take it off And the ^Embutterflies you felt said it all Y^Cou were falling with the boy inside your^G locket

^G Back in '43, the b^Emrown-eyed boy went overseas And h^Cad to leave town for a little wh^Gile ^G He swore he'd marry you^Em as soon as the war was through Y^Cou would be his w^Gife

St^Emanding in the p^Couring ra^Gin You cr^Amied as you w^Catched him ride aw^Day But everyd^Cay

You had his p^Gicture in a locket that you wore around your neck Left it r^Emight beside your heart so you would not forget The w^Cay his kiss tasted on your l^Gips And everyd^Gay felt like a lifetime with him gone And you pr^Emayed that God would bring him safely home 'Cause you m^Cade a promise to the boy inside your l^Gocket

Oh, ^Em60 years y^Cou two had together^G and he's been gone for a couple n^Dow And it br^Emeaks my heart to see you str^Cuggle to remember ^G And I've been writing all your m^Demories down And I st^Copped by today to r^Gead a couple pages ^Em Grandma, you sure look pr^Getty And you sm^Cile that sm^Gile, the ^Amone I haven't seen in quite a whi^Cle And you s^Daid to me, I want you to keep

His p^Gicture in a locket that I wore around my neck The one I l^Emeft beside my heart so I would not forget The gr^Ceatest love and the greatest man I've ever kn^Gown But it's g^Gettin' time for me to head on home She said, that br^Emown-eyed boy is waiting and I don't want to keep him long H^Ceaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longi^Gng For the boy inside your l^Gocket ^{C G}
