| Eb | Eb/C Db | Db/C Bbm | Ab |

[Verse 2]

Eb        Eb/C    Db       Db/C
Goldenrod and the 4H stone
     Bbm                         Ab
The things I brought you when I found out
          Eb                Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
You had cancer of the bone

       Eb         Eb/C     Db
Your father cried on the telephone
Db/C    Bbm                    Ab
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
         Eb                      Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
Just to prove that he was sorry

[Chorus]
         Eb                  Bbm
In the morning, through the window shade
Bbm/C     Db                             Ab
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
         Eb                        Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
I could see what you were reading

         Eb             Bbm
All the glory that the Lord has made
Bbm/C     Db                    Ab
And the complications you could do without
        Eb           Eb/C      Db Db/C Bbm Ab
When I kissed you on the mouth

[Interlude]

| Eb | Bbm | Bbm/C Db | Ab |

[Verse 2]
  Eb             Eb/C Db
Tuesday night at the Bible study
Db/C  Bbm                 Ab
We    lift our hands and pray over your body
      Eb                  Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
But nothing ever happens

Eb         Eb/C   Db
I remember at   Michael's house
Db/C    Bbm                   Ab
In the living room when you kissed my neck
        Eb                       Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
And I almost touched your blouse

[Chorus]

         Eb           Bbm
In the morning at the top of the stairs
Bbm/C        Db                     Ab
When your father found out what we did that night
         Eb                    Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
And you told me you were scared

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

[Verse 3]
  Eb         Eb/C     Db              Db/C
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
Bbm                         Ab
I found the card where you wrote it out
           Eb                   Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
With the pictures of your mother

Eb           Eb/C    Db
On the floor at the great divide
Db/C     Bbm                    Ab
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
      Eb            Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
I am crying in the bathroom

[Chorus]
        Eb               Bbm
In the morning when you finally go
Bbm/C    Db                     Ab
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
          Eb                     Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
And the cardinal hits the window

        Eb             Bbm
In the morning in the winter shade
Bbm/C   Db                      Ab
On the first of March, on the holiday
    Eb                         Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
I thought I saw you breathing

          Eb           Bbm
All the glory that the Lord has made
Bbm/C      Db                Ab
And the complications when I see His face
        Eb                   Eb/C Db Db/C Bbm Ab
In the morning in the window

         Eb           Bbm
All the glory when He took our place
Bbm/C   Db                        Ab
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
        Eb                        Bbm   Bbm/C Db Ab
And He takes and He takes and He takes
