Verse 2
(G major)
He met her in the summer of '37
in a brush (E minor) arbor down (D major) on the
(C major) Rush Creek shore
He loved her black hair and
(B minor) the mischief in her smile
But she (E minor) won him with her eye (D major) s
Verse 3
All the (C major) years and children gone,
he still (B minor) sees her the same (C major) (G major)
(B minor) Love is a (D major) hard, hard road
(G major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 4
He woke up each (G major) morning
and drove into town
He (E minor) stayed all day (D major) till her (C major) dinner came
Then he took her to a room,
leaned (G major) on her wheelchair (B minor) like a walker
(E minor) Covered her with a quilt (D major) she'd made
Only (C major) God and a couple of nurses helped the
(G major) old man shoulder the (C major) load (G major)
Love is a (D major) hard, hard (G major) road
Verse 5
He said (C major) "They tell me this
is all that's left,
Say this hell on Earth is best,
(D major) I lost all those (G major) reasons and
I still don't understand" (C major)
He cursed his body (G major) old and weak
(C major) Tears of failure (G major) burned his cheeks
He said (D major) "Oh, don't you know (G major)
I prayed to die (E minor) before this (C major) day"
(G major) Love is a (D major) hard, hard road
(G major)
Verse 6
There's a shadow much darker
than the valley of death
When you (E minor) fear the reaper (D major) night
not come (C major) today (Csus2)
(C major) The line 'em up in Laz-E-Boys out
(G major) out out in the (B minor) (E minor) sunroom
The TV keeps the quiet (D major) away
She (C major) can't recall his name and she's
(G major) the only love he's (C major) known (G major)
Love is a (D major) hard, hard road (G major)
Love is a hard, (D major) hard (G major) road (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
Moving (G major) Oleta was the
(E minor) hardest (D major) thing he'd done.
