^DGoldenrod ^D/Band the ^C4H stone ^C/B The t^Amhings I brought you when I fo^Gund out You had ca^Dncer of the bone ^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

Your fa^Dther cried ^D/Bon the te^Clephone ^C/BAnd he d^Amrove his car into the N^Gavy yard Just to p^Drove that he was sorry ^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

[Chorus]

In the mo^Drning, t^D/Bhrough the wi^Cndow shade ^C/BWhen the l^Amight pressed up against y^Gour shoulder blade I could s^Dee what you were reading ^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

All the g^Dlory ^D/Bthat the L^Cord has made ^C/BAnd the co^Ammplications you could ^Gdo without When I k^Dissed you on^D/B the mout^Ch ^C/B ^Am ^G

[Interlude] ||: D | Am | Am/B C | G :|| [Verse 2]

Tu^Desday night^D/B at the B^Cible study ^C/B We l^Amift our hands and p^Gray over your body But no^Dthing ever happens ^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

^DI remember^D/B at Mi^Cchael's house ^C/BIn the l^Amiving room when you ki^Gssed my neck And I al^Dmost touched your blouse^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

[Chorus]

In the mo^Drning ^D/Bat the t^Cop of the stairs ^C/BWhen your f^Amather found out what we d^Gid that night And you t^Dold me you were scare^D/Bd ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

All the gl^Dory ^D/Bwhen you r^Can outside ^Am/BWith your sh^Cirt tucked in and your sh^Goes untied And you t^Dold me not to follow ^D/Byou ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

Su^Dnday night ^D/Bwhen I cl^Ceaned the house ^C/B I f^Amound the card where you wr^Gote it out With the pi^Dctures of your moth^D/Ber ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

^DOn the floor^D/B at the gr^Ceat divide ^C/BWith my s^Amhirt tucked in and my s^Ghoes untied I am c^Drying in the ^D/Bbath^Cro^C/Bom ^Am ^G

[Chorus]

In the m^Dorning ^D/Bwhen you fi^Cnally go ^Am/BAnd the n^Amurse runs in with her h^Gead hung low And the ca^Drdinal hits the window^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

In the m^Dorning^D/B in the w^Cinter shade ^Am/BOn the f^Amirst of March, on the ho^Gliday I th^Dought I saw you breathing ^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

All the gl^Dory ^D/Bthat the L^Cord has made ^Am/BAnd the co^Ammplications when I s^Gee His face In the m^Dorning in the window^D/B ^C ^C/B ^Am ^G

All the g^Dlory ^D/Bwhen He t^Cook our place ^Am/BBut He t^Amook my shoulders and He sh^Gook my face And He t^Dakes and He takes ^D/Band He ta^Ckes ^C/B ^Am ^G
