[D]Goldenrod and the [C]4h stone,
the [Am]things I brought you
when I [G]found out you had [D]cancer of the bone. [C] [Am] [G]
[D]Your father cried on the [C]telephone,
and he [Am]drove his car into the [G]navy yard,
just to [D]prove that he was [C]sorry. [Am] [G]
In the [D]morning, through the [C]window shade,
when the [Am]light pressed up against [G]your shoulderblade,
I could [D]see what you were [C]reading. [Am] [G]
All the [D]glory that the [C]Lord has made,
and the [Am]complications you could [G]do without,
when I [D]kissed you on the [C]mouth. [Am] [G]
[D]Tuesday night at the [C]Bible study,
we [Am]lift our hands and [G]pray over your body,
but [D]nothing ever [C]happens. [Am] [G]
[D]I remember at [C]Michael's house,
in the [Am]living room when you [G]kissed my neck,
and I [D]almost touched your [C]blouse. [Am] [G]
In the [D]morning at the [C]top of the stairs,
when your [Am]father found out what we [G]did that night,
and you [D]told me you were [C]scared. [Am] [G]
All the [D]glory when you [C]ran outside,
with your [Am]shirt tucked in and your [G]shoes untied,
and you [D]told me not to follow [C]you. [Am] [G]
[D] [C] [Am] [G] [D] [C] [Am] [G]
[D]Sunday night when I [C]cleaned the house,
I [Am]find the card where you [G]wrote it out,
with the [D]pictures of your mother. [C] [Am] [G]
[D]On the floor at the [C]great divide,
With my [Am]shirt tucked in and my [G]shoes untied,
I am [D]crying in the bathroom. [C] [Am] [G]
In the [D]morning when you [C]finally go,
and the [Am]nurse runs in with her [G]head hung low,
and the [D]cardinal hits the window. [C] [Am] [G]
In the [D]morning in the [C]winter shade,
on the [Am]first of March on the [G]holiday,
I [D]thought I saw you breathing. [C] [Am] [G]
All the [D]glory that the [C]Lord has made,
and [Am]the complications when I [G]see His face,
in the [D]morning in the window. [C] [Am] [G]
All the [D]glory when he [C]took our place,
but he [Am]took my shoulders and he [G]shook my face,
and he [D]takes, and he takes, and he [C]takes. [Am] [G]
[D]Toodoo doo, [Am]toodoo doo, [C]ta da da, [G]ta da da da (repeated)
