Drop in a Bucket
Mary Gauthier
6/8 time Gentle with a country feel.
Chords written down by HarleyJon
AHappy Anniversary ABaby, it's been a Dyear now since you moved awAay,
AEven though I Aasked, you to go, I Emiss you every dE7ay.
I mAiss you in the Aevenings, aDlone in the bed where I lAie,
I mAiss you in the Amorning, befEore I open my eAyes.
I went and sold everything I could babe, then I gave away what I didn't sell
I moved south to Nashville, I might like it there, but I can't tell.
I've been hanging in Austin eating chili's and good barbecue,
Writing songs about losing and heartache, hey babe, I've been writing about you.
	A yeDar, that ain't nAothin', when you lDose someone you lEove,
	A yeaDr is a drop in Aa bucket, when you lEose someone you lAove.
I been traveling hard since September, won't get back to Nashville 'till June,
I've played my songs all over the world, but I can't find a home without you.
I press on like a mad rushing river, I press on with the will to survive,
Part of me lives for the wind in my face, while the other parts bearly alive
	A yeDar, that ain't nAothin', when you lDose someone you lEove,
	A yeaDr is a drop in Aa bucket, when you lEose someone you lAove.
So Happy Anniversary baby, may fortune and fate be your friends,
Wherever you go, I want you to know, I don't think my love ever ends.
I carry it down the highway, it's part of my body and soul,
And one day it'll be the part of me, that pulls me up out of this hole
	A yeDar, that ain't nAothin', when you lDose someone you lEove,
	A yeaDr is a drop in Aa bucket, when you lEose someone you lAove.
