Waiting on June chords by Kayla Jane
Verse 1
D
G
D
She was from North Louisiana
in the town of Marou.
I fell in love in a week or two.
G
D
It didn't take long to love a girl like that.
We were barely ten in the cotton fields
Playing horseshoe with the colored kids
G
And I tried to kiss her,
D
she grabbed her baseball bat
G
Waiting on June
D
I went off at forty -two
To fight those boys and pay my dues
G
D
Her wallet picture kept my spirits high
Charlie, boy, I died in my arms
He saw Jesus, I saw blood
G
D
It's so dual, a picture, that cold night
A
Told my best friend Charlie
G
D
I would kiss his girl goodbye
A
Made me promise I'd go home
G
D
and make mischief with wife
A
Shaking like a drunk old fool,
G
D
I hopped off a diaper
Bm
A
G
And I ran home to ask her in the rain
Waiting on June
I hope that she says yes,
D
I'm waiting on June
In my faded summer dress,
G
I'm waiting on June
My daddy shook my hand,
Bm
and she lit up the moment
A
D
I pulled out that silver band, quick, no, I do
We got married at the Methodist church,
found a big white cow
G
and a piece of dirt with pecan trees
to build our homestead
D
on Dolan, Becky, then Donna, then Shelby
Her tiny house was a sanctuary
G
And laughed to fill those
D
rooms all day long
G
Waiting on June
She's putting on her makeup
D
Waiting on June
She's trying to get her hair curled
G
D
Waiting on June
G
Kids, you listen to me
Bm
You walk down to Sunday School
A
And I'll be there in fifteen
D
Waitin' on you
Time flew by like they said it would
Kids grew fast and the farm did good
G
D
Miss Bertha made us laugh every day
At noon that silver belt would ring,
we'd say grace and we'd dig on in,
G
D
we always ate together in those days
A
One by one the kids went up
G
D
and they found a love of their own
A
There's nothing like the joy I knew
G
when they brought the babies home
D
A
We'll play all day in the cotton fields
G
D
with the dogs I've raised up right
Bm
And end in Grandma's
A
G
kitchen every night
Waiting on June
Honey, don't burn the bacon
D
Waiting on June
G
Our bellies are all aching waiting on June
She turns that fork so slow
Bm
We all had to sit there
A
till that last bite was no more
D
G
Waiting on June
D
We were slower than we used to be
The nursing home told June and me
G
We'd have to separate
D
rooms side -by -side
A
Oh, what I'd give for one more night
G
D
of sleeping with my wife
A
since 45 touched her skin
G
D
in the middle of the night
A
laying in a single bed till
G
D
they cut out the lights
Bm
that's when she's sneaking
A
G
and i'll be fine
waiting on june
D
so we can kiss goodnight i'm
I'll hold her hand so tight,
G
I'm waiting on June
I'll love her till I die
Bm
It's bittersweet when love grows old
A
And you really miss your wife
D
G
Waiting on June
D
They buried me last Tuesday morn
Good Lord came and took me home
G
D
I closed my eyes and quickly went away
Bm
But the angels let me see
A
G
her every day
Waiting on June
Our mansion is so grand
D
I'm waiting on June
Footprints in the sand,
G
I'm waiting on you
That's the story of my life
Bm
It's me and Jesus,
we're standing here
A
Till she walks through that light,
G
D
G
waiting on you
D
No more waiting, no, no
Waiting on June
