Capo 3, chords relative to capo
Intro chords: A D A A E A (played after each chorus as well)
A D A
Some call me a sinner, some say I was lost
E
I paid the debt, boy, but I couldn't pay the cost
A D A
But the good lord he works in mysterious ways
E A
Like burnin bushes and little girls with braids
She was only 19 years old
Too young for barrooms, too old to stay home
I'd take her out dancin, I'd spin her around
In that metaphysical Gingham Gown
Chorus:
D A
She says "Boy, don't the sunshine just call for some rain,
E
and someday we'll understand why"
A D A
So I don't need to wonder why she hangs around
E A
In that metaphysical Gingham gown
I aint much of a singer, and I'm less of a man
I'd turn tail and run but she wouldn't understand
She said "boy, God forgives you for all that you dont"
but it's forgivin yourself that's the hardest of all
I'd go lookin for answers on a Tuesday night
Too drunk to walk and lookin for a fight
She still picks me up, lays my ????? head down
On that metaphysical Gingham Gown
(chorus)
And in that lonely space between dusk and your soul
You cry like a baby while your mind's growin old
And your heart begs the question, but you never ask why
You just love while you can and you learn how to die
But sometimes a girl takes the ache from your bones
And makes you forget that we all die alone
So I'll hold her hand until Jesus comes 'round
Trades her dress in for wings and he wears the crown
(chorus)
