Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver - How Do You Say Goodbye To Sixty Years Chords

[Intro]
C   Dm   C   Dm

[Verse 1]
            C
He looked whittled down like the edges of a worn out blade

In that suit and tie he looked so out of place
F
Standin' there off too himself just looking down
        C
at the flowers that covered up that red clay mound
   Dm                             G
I asked him Grandpa are you gonna be alright?
    Dm7                             G
He looked at me and wiped away them sad old eyes

[Chorus]
         C                              F         G             C
He said: How do you say goodbye, to the only gal that you ever loved?
                                                    F      G                 C
How do you sleep at night when you're the only one left to pull those covers up
           E7                                 Am                   G                 D
And when I wake up in the morning, how will I face the day knowing that she won't be here
               F                           G                               C        Dm
You know it's just a part of life, but son how do you say goodbye to sixty years?

[Interlude]
C   Dm

[Verse 2]
        C
It took every ounce of strength for him to walk away
                        G
And I'd never seen him look that weak until that day
               F
He said you'll always be that blue-eyed angel in my mind
   C                      G                C
It broke my heart when he said "I won't be far behind"
   Dm                                G
I hugged his neck and then I opened that car door
   Dm                                   G
Before he sat down he turned around and said once more

[Chorus]
         C                               F        G             C
He said: How do you say goodbye, to the only gal that you ever loved?
                                           F               G                 C
How do you sleep at night when you're the only one left to pull those covers up
           E7                                 Am                    G                D
And when I wake up in the morning, how will I face the day knowing that she won't be here
               F                           G                                F
You know it's just a part of life, but son how do you say goodbye to sixty yeeears -
                                                Dm7                               G
Of holdin' hands, livin' life and making plans, never thinking that she would go first
              Dm                           G                                C      Dm
You know it's just a part of life, but son how do you say goodbye to sixty years?
          C         Dm   C
To sixty years...
