D                 C
Goldenrod and the 4h stone,
    E
the things I brought you,
       G             D                      C E G
when I found out you had cancer of the bone.

D                C
Your father cried on the telephone,
       E              G
and he drove his car into the navy yard,
        D                        C E G
just to prove that he was sorry. 

       D                    C
In the morning, through the window shade,
          E                       G
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,
        D                          C E G
I could see what you were reading.
         
        D              C
All the glory that the Lord has made,
        E                       G
and the complications you could do without,
       D                       C E G 
when I kissed you on the mouth.

D                    C
Tuesday night at the Bible study,
   E                  G
we lift our hands and pray over your body,
    [Banjo]
but nothing ever happens.

D             C
I remember at Michael's house,
        E                   G
in the living room when you kissed my neck,
      [Banjo]
and I almost touched your blouse.

       D              C
In the morning at the top of the stairs,
          E                        G
when your father found out what we did that night,
        [Banjo]
and you told me you were scared.

        D              C
All the glory when you ran outside,
          E                        G
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied,
        [Banjo]
and you told me not to follow you.

[Interlude thinger. You can play whatever you]
[want here.]

D                   C
Sunday night when I cleaned the house,
  E                       G
I find the card where you wrote it out,
         [Banjo]
with the pictures of your mother.

D                   C
On the floor at the great divide,
        E                      G
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
     [Banjo]
I am crying in the bathroom.

       D                C
In the morning when you finally go,
        E                      G
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
        [Banjo]
and the cardinal hits the window.

       D              C
In the morning in the winter shade,
       E                     G
on the first of March on the holiday,
          [Banjo]
I thought I saw you breathing.

        D              C
All the glory that the Lord has made,
        E                    G
and the complications when I see His face,
       [Banjo]
in the morning in the window.

        D             C
All the glory when he took our place,
       E                         G
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
                  [Banjo or Main Riff, played quietly]
and he takes, and he takes, and he takes.
