INTRO: G   C G    C G

                    C              G 
I met you once in a living room in Jackson
                              C
Thought of you for six years or more
    D                        G
One hour, you were my secret standard
    A7                                D     C
One night, you walked back through my door___


     G               C            G 
Your lanky frame was not what I remembered
                              C
Waking from a long and fitful sleep
    D                         G    
But after early morning conversation
  A7                      D      G
I drove to north Texas in disbelief

 
CHORUS:
     C             G               D      G
That quaking in my heart was too deep for words
                   Em              Am     D
It tremored and it trembled and it ached___
   G                          C 
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias

 
             C               G 
Fortunes not made and not discovered
                            C
There were mentors, we were proteges
     D                       G
From one rite of passage to another
   A7                                     D     C
We roughed through the wellsprings of our early days


    G               C                 G 
And underneath that surface there was something
                          C
Only you and I could understand
  D                          G    ~ Em
I made my commitment to that long ago
G                               D    G
Standing in the hallway down in Dixieland

 
CHORUS:
         C             G           D      G
And that quaking in my heart too deep for words
                  Em              Am     D
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___
   G                          C 
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias

 
                       C                G 
There's one thing that I love more than Austin
                                  C
Or curving 'round the Frio on her turquoise streets
          D                          G
It's your melancholy dread of Sunday evenings
     A7                     D      C
Your shivering body when it sleeps__


    G                C             G 
The future's looking stormy here before us
                                    C
There are wars, calamities and tribulations
      D                              G       ~ Em
We'll hatchet down the windows if we have to
    G                                 D   G
And stand the watch together 'til the morning

 
CHORUS:
            C             G           D        G
'Cause that quaking in my heart's too deep for words
                  Em              Am     D
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___
   G                          C 
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
