Sad song by Rosa, still a good one though.
She said she Cfelt an aching,
And went to lay Emdown and died in her Amroom, alone.C  G  
He said he Ctried to wake her,
Oh, Emhow he tried, but she Amdidn't move
And he was in the CT.V. roomG.
CMaybe Con that dCay he lCoved her Ammore than his own Glife
And Cmaybe Con that dCay he wishCed it waAms he who could havGe died
AmMaybe on that day he felt his Embody disappear into thAme space
Next to Cher Gon the bCed.
CGreg grew up under his Emdad's hand
PushiAmng tractors, pushing snuff into his Cface out in the Gfield,
But the dCoctors said his gut just wasn't fEmixable right now
And Amanyway, a country man can't Cpay those city Gbills.
Well my Cuncle and aunCt...Cthey put him uCp in a hAmospital rGoom.
And I remCember tChey spent Cevery night tChere in that AmhospitaGl room
AmOne day he said "Daddy, I see God, but EmI just ain't ready to go.
But AmGrampa's at my shoulder, and he Cswears I'm not GalonCe."
Instrumental bit:

CWell on that day, I saw my Emuncle cry for his Amdead son.C  G  C  
CWe were all Emleft alone, without a Amflag and gun salute
And I Cheld my sister's hand as we sat Gsilent in the pew.
Oh CKatie, KCatie, KCatie, you Cspoke bAmeautifully that Gday,
And I'm Emsure you know that firm handshake
                                  G   C(once)
Meant more than he could ever ever say.

Sad song by Rosa, still a good one though.

She said she felt an aching,

And went to lay down and died in her room, alone.

He said he tried to wake her,

Em Am

Oh, how he tried, but she didn't move

C G

And he was in the T.V. room.

C C C C Am G

Maybe on that day he loved her more than his own life

C C C C Am G

And maybe on that day he wished it was he who could have died

Am Em Am

Maybe on that day he felt his body disappear into the space

C G C

Next to her on the bed.

C Em

Greg grew up under his dad's hand

Am C G

Pushing tractors, pushing snuff into his face out in the field,

C Em

But the doctors said his gut just wasn't fixable right now

Am C G

And anyway, a country man can't pay those city bills.

C C C C Am G

Well my uncle and aunt...they put him up in a hospital room.

C C C C Am G

And I remember they spent every night there in that hospital room

Am Em

One day he said "Daddy, I see God, but I just ain't ready to go.

But Grampa's at my shoulder, and he swears I'm not alone."

Well on that day, I saw my uncle cry for his dead son.

And I held my sister's hand as we sat silent in the pew.

C C C C Am G

Oh Katie, Katie, Katie, you spoke beautifully that day,

And I'm sure you know that firm handshake

(once)

Meant more than he could ever ever say.
