Sons of Bill - Metaphysical Gingham Gown
Capo 5
Intro: Cadd9 G/B G G/B Cadd9 G/B G/F# G
G Cadd9 G
Some call me a sinner, some say I was lost
G D
I paid the debts, boy, but I couldn't pay the cost
G Cadd9 G
But the good Lord, he works in mysterious ways
G D G
Like burnin bushes and little girls in braids
Yeah 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:
Cadd9 G D G
She says "boy don't the sunshine just call for some rain
Cadd9 G D
someday we'll understand why"
G Cadd9 G
So I don't need to wonder why she hangs around
G D G
In that metaphysical Gingham gown
Back to intro
I aint much of a singer, I'm less of a man
I'd turn tail and run but she wouldn't understand
She says "boy God forgives you for all that you are
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
But she still picks me up and lays my throbbin head down
On that metaphysical Gingham gown
(Chorus and intro)
And in that lonely space between dust 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 winds and he wears the crown
(Chorus, song ends with intro)
In the video, you can hear me singing almost as loud as James. Sorry about that.
