Book Faded Brown
Written by Paul Jost
Album: Jubilation
(intro)
F   Dmx 4
(verse)
FAnother autumn nDmight it's getting chilly
FBirds are gatherDming round getting ready
FThe Moon and the Dmsun are both so heavy
GBarely off the ground
AmHe's turning the wheels of his dBbaddy's plow
AmSowing the land that's been handBbed down
GmSinging a song from a Cbook that's faded Fbrown
F(vDmerse)
FMary she's on thDme step she's waiting
FHair is like a lDmight from heaven
FThe family comes Dmtogether now
GBelieve in what they found
AmGrace is said at the Bbtable round
AmA prayer before they Bbsettle down
GmSide by side in a Cbook that's faded Fbrown
(chorus)
BbHave you Cever wondered Dmwhy?
BbThere's a Crainbow in thDme sky?
BbIt's Call the tears
CThat DmGod has been crying
And it Gleaves the world
And it leaves the world
With a Crainbow for a crown
(verse)
FThose that said, said Dmthey're the outsiders
FAre only Dmeasy riders on a Ghorse that's going lame
AmFor the way of the world is Bbupside down
AmThey can all hold hands BbWhen they walk through town
GmSide by side with a Cbook that's faded Fbrown
[Garth accordion bridge]
(chorus)
BbHave you Cever wondered Dmwhy?
BbThere's a Crainbow in thDme sky?
BbIt's Call the tears
CThat DmGod has been crying
And it Gleaves the world
And it leaves the world
With a Crainbow for a crown
Whoa
(verse)
FBy the way have I told Dmyou already
FThat his Dmparents were buried Gby a tree that they loved
AmThe way of the world is Bbupside down
AmEven the flowers stood wBbithout a sound
GmPressed together in a Cbook that's faded
GmPressed together in a Cbook that's faded
GmPressed together in a Cbook that's faded Dmbrown
GmBound together in a boCok that's faded Fbrown
