Porter Wagoner's Grave chords by Marty Stuart
Verse 1
D
A world- wearied man with
G
tear filled eyes
D
Walked in off the street of the
C#m
A
uncommonly wise
D
Into the church meeting,
G
with this story he came
D
Sometimes angels and strangers
A
D
Bm
are one and the same
D
The preacher said "Sir,
G
you're welcome in here
D
A
Now tell us as much as you'd want
D
us to hear"
And the stranger said,
"It was no more than an hour ago, people,
G
I was lookin' for shelter for the night."
D
"I wanted to go somewhere
out of the way,
E
somewhere peaceful and quiet."
D
"So I went to a cemetery,
A
D
close by Thompson Lane,
and with full respect I entered it
G
and found rest from the rain."
"I laid down under a sycamore,
D
an' I was barely asleep,
A
when someone said "Hello stranger"
D
and touched the boots on my feet."
"His hair was pure silver,
G
almost like a crown of glory on top,
and the rain didn't touch him,
D
not one single drop."
"His voice was familiar,
E
A
it brought me comfort and peace."
"He laughed and said,
D
"Well, we picked a strange place to meet,
G
but I understand, I've often come here to pray,
when the burdens of life
D
put stones in my way."
"And you see friend,
you and me, we're brothers,
A
G
D
though we've never met."
"We've both known heartache,
Bm
D
disappointment and the pain of regret."
"The full weight of sadness,
G
love and it's cost,
D
and without love, a soul is nothing,
E
but empty and lost."
A
"And I've come to tell you,
to go on now and be brave."
D
"You can live again."
"You know it's her love that you crave."
G
"Go find the one you left behind,
D
hold her, take her by the hand."
"Show her how much you need her,
A
I believe she'll understand."
D
"Now son you take a look at this ground,
it's filled with things unsaid."
"There's a world of good intentions
G
here in the land of the dead."
D
"And friend I'm here to tell ya, on this very night,
E
A
I was sent by your Maker, the giver of life, to tell you there's rest
for your soul."
D
"There's peace and relief,
if you'll just surrender your burdens."
G
"Lay them at God's feet."
D
"Walk out of this place."
"Go now and live in the light
A
of a pure perfect presence,
D
that loves and forgives."
Bm
A
D
He wore a long purple coat,
G
covered in wheels
A
G
D
Red leather boots, with sparkling heels
On a dark stormy night,
G
a lost soul was saved
D
A
Brought into the fold on Porter
