Another request. One of my favorites off BG's first album
Tune the guitar a half step down
(G) Grew up one state north of Kentucky
(D) Family far from rollin' in the money
(Em7) 7 brothers and (D/F#) sisters to feed and (Cadd9) love
(G) Granddaddy said she kept her eyes on the sky
(D) Watchin' all the little birds fly
(Em7) Staring at (D/F#) heaven like her lost (Cadd9) home
(Em7) None of her (D/F#) dreams held fame and (Cadd9) fortune
(Em7) She wanted a (D/F#) husband and children that (Cadd9) loved her
Chorus:
Spreading' her (G) wings her feet left ground in Indian
(D) Driving down south just to marry my daddy
(Em7) Leaving the life she'd (D/F#) known and loved (Cadd9) behind
She never (G) cussed or drank, kept on the table
(D) Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
(Em7) She's a God sent (D/F#) blessing wiling and (Cadd9) able
As Indiana's angel
G, Cadd9
(G) Baby back home your daddy's dying
(D) 'Bout then the kind of perfect timing,
(Em7) Walked in with (D/F#) liquor on my (Cadd9) breath
(G) I sit and watch all of her tears glisten
(D) She said, "Son you'll learn to listen,
(Em7) A man stands (D/F#) taller from his (Cadd9)knees"
(Em7) And I'll never (D/F#)forget how much that (Cadd9) hurt
She said, (Em7) "Son one day (D/F#) I'll be gone you wont (Cadd9) have to hear these words"
Chorus:
Spreading' her (G) wings her feet left ground in Indian
(D) Driving down south just to marry my daddy
(Em7) Leaving the life she'd (D/F#) known and loved (Cadd9) behind
She never (G) cussed or drank, kept on the table
(D) Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
(Em7) She's a God sent (D/F#) blessing wiling and (Cadd9) able
As Indiana's (Em7) angel (D), Indian's (Cadd9) angel
Chorus:
Spreading' her (G) wings her feet left ground in Indian
(D) Driving down south just to marry my daddy
(Em7) Leaving the life she'd (D/F#) known and loved (Cadd9) behind
She never (G) cussed or drank, kept on the table
(D) Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
(Em7) She's a God sent (D/F#) blessing wiling and (Cadd9) able
As Indiana's angel
