(G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major)
Verse 1
When they (G major) carried
you into the parlor
Your wounds (C major) were the worst I'd seen (G major)
Cold as snow as your body (E minor) trembled
Cradled (D major) in the arms of morphine
(G major) All the kinfolk cried out loud
"Good (C major) Shepherd save this man" (G major)
But you whispered with icy (E minor) breath
"It is (D major) not in His hands,"
and you said (C major)
"Heaven ain't ready for me (G major) yet,"
and you looked at me (C major)
"Give me your heart and take a bet," (G major)
and you held my hand (C major)
"Now I've seen your face,
now that we've (D major) met
"I shall not slip (G major) away" (C major)
(G major) Mama said to me, "daughter
"You must nurse (C major) your cousin well" (G major)
So I cared for you through (D major)
days (E minor) and nights
But your (D major) fever I did not quell
For weeks (G major) I watched you suffer pain
That no (C major) laudanum could ease (G major)
All I had left to do (E minor) is pray
"Lord have (D major) mercy on him please,"
and you said (C major)
"Heaven ain't ready for me (G major) yet,"
and you looked at me (C major)
"Give me your heart and take a bet," (G major)
and you held my hand (C major)
"Now I've seen your face,
now that we've (D major) met
"I shall not slip away" (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Now (G major) winter's lights has cooled the air
At last (C major) your strength's returned
(G major) You talk to me of (D major) the life (E minor) you spent
An (D major) d of the life you've earned
You'll (G major) waste no time on vengeance
You've no wish (C major) to fight again (G major)
"To find peace," you say,
(D major) "In God (E minor) we trust
"But (D major) little faith in Man" (C major)
Heaven ain't' ready for you (G major) yet, Jesse
I'll (C major) give you my heart,
I'll take a bet, (G major) Jesse (C major)
Now I've seen your face,
now that we've (D major) met
