I cannot take full credit for this. I did not find these chords on my own. This tab was on guitaretab.com. However, I did go over it and fix some issues regarding the chord changes alongside the lyrics. So consider this an edited version. You can pick if you want to, but it sounds fine if you just strum it to the rhythm. () = optional chord or pickup chord Capo on the 1ST FRET Intro: D C ( Em ) Am G D C ( Em ) Am G

^DGoldenrod and the ^C4H stone The ^Amthings I brought you

When I ^Gfound out you had ^Dcancer of the bone. ^C ^Am ^G

Your ^Dfather cried on the ^Ctelephone And he ^Amdrove his car into the ^GNavy yard

Just to ^Dprove that he was sorry ^C ^Am ^G

In the ^Dmorning, through the ^Cwindow shade When the ^Amlight pressed up against your^G shoulder blade

I could ^Dsee what you were reading ^C ^Am ^G

All the ^Dglory that the ^CLord has made And the ^Amcomplications you could ^Gdo without

When I ^Dkissed you on the mouth ^C ^Am ^G

^DTuesday night at the ^CBible study We ^Amlift our hands and ^Gpray over your body

But^D nothing ever happens ^C ^Am ^G

^DI remember at^C Michael's house In the ^Amliving room when you ^Gkissed my neck

And I ^Dalmost touched your blouse ^C ^Am ^G

In the ^Dmorning, at the ^Ctop of the stairs When your ^Amfather found out what we ^Gdid that night

And you ^Dtold me you were scared ^C ^Am ^G

All the g^Dlory when you ^Cran outside With your ^Amshirt tucked in and your ^Gshoes untied

And you ^Dtold me not to follow you ^C ^Am ^G

^DSunday night when I ^Ccleaned the house I ^Amfound the card where you ^Gwrote it out

With the^D pictures of your mother ^C ^Am ^G

^DOn the floor at the ^Cgreat divide With my ^Amshirt tucked in and my^G shoes untied

I am ^Dcrying in the bathroom ^C ^Am ^G

D c In the morning when you finally go

And the n^Amurse runs in with her^G head hung low And the ^Dcardinal hits the window ^C ^Am ^G

In the ^Dmorning in the ^Cwinter shade On the ^Amfirst of March, on the ^Gholiday

I ^Dthought I saw you breathing ^C ^Am ^G

All the ^Dglory that the ^CLord has made And the ^Amcomplications when I ^Gsee his face

In the ^Dmorning in the window ^C ^Am ^G

All the ^Dglory when he ^Ctook our place But he ^Amtook my shoulders and he ^Gshook my face

And he ^Dtakes and he takes and he takes ^C ^Am ^G(pause)

[Outro]: D C Am G (repeat till end)
