                  Db         
Goldenrod and the fourH stone
Bbm                     
The things I brought you
       Ab                Eb            Ab   Db Bbm
When I found out you had cancer of the bone ■  ■  
Ab Eb                       Db       
■  Your father cried on the telephone
       Bbm                    Ab       
And he drove his car into the navy yard
        Eb                      Db Bbm
Just to prove that he was sorry ■  ■

Ab        Eb                  Db          
■  In the morning through the window shade
         Bbm                      Ab                 
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
        Eb                        Db Bbm
I could see what you were reading ■  ■  
Ab         Eb             Db           
■  All the glory that the Lord has made
        Bbm                     Ab        
And the complications you could do without
       Eb                     
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the Bible study
Bbm                   Ab                 
We lift our hands and pray over your body
Eb                       Db Bbm
But nothing ever happens ■  ■  
Ab               Db        Ab   
■  I remember at Michael's house
       Bbm                  Ab            
In the living room when you kissed my neck
    Eb                    Db     Bbm
And I almost touched your blouse ■  
Ab                       Db

When your father found out what we did that night
        Eb               Db     Bbm
And you told me you were scared ■  


[Chorus]
Ab         Eb             Db         
■  All the glory when you ran outside
          Bbm                      Ab          
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
        Eb                       
And you told me not to follow you

Eb                  Db               
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
Bbm                       Ab          
I find the card where you wrote it out
         Eb              Ab     Db Bbm
With the pictures of you mother ■  ■  
Ab Eb     Ab           Db          
■  On the floor at the great divide
        Bbm                    Ab          
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
     Eb     Ab     Db       Bbm
I am crying in the bathroom ■  
Ab        Eb               Db        
■  In the morning when you finally go
        Bbm                    Ab           
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
        Eb                       Db Bbm
And the cardinal hits the window ■  ■  
Ab        Eb             Db          
■  In the morning in the winter shade
       Bbm                   Ab     
On the onest of March on the holiday
Eb                            Db Bbm
I thought I saw you breathing ■  ■

Ab         Eb             Db           
■  All the glory that the Lord has made
        Bbm                  Ab          
And the complications when I see His face
       Eb                    Db Bbm
In the morning in the window ■  ■  
Ab         Eb            Db            
■  All the glory when he took our place
       Bbm                      Ab           
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
       Eb                        Db   
And he takes and he takes and he takes
