--- Intro Riff (see end of Tab) ---
I saw you shAmining like a lighter in a foCxhole
and witGhout delay I put you in my sAmights
for many years I watched you dancing in my crossChairs
but I coGuldn't pull the tErigger for my liAmfe
F(Fmaj7) C  
but then one day I got the stones to take your hand, dear
and I wGon you with a flower and a sAmmile
F(Fmaj7) C  
though all I had to offer was a fireplace
and a fGace you leaErned to love after Amawhile
---- Intro Riff again ---
one day AmI was called to serve my couCntry
and I wGent because I'd never been Amaway
I returned home with a bandage on my Cforehead
and a meGmory that gets weaEker every Amday
F(Fmaj7) C  
and now you never touch me like you used to
and my injuGries don't even start to heCal
F(Fmaj7) C  
I was sure right then and there that I would lose you
oh how wGretched your bEeauty makes me Amfeel
--- Riff Variation (see end of Tab)---
I used to Amthink our love was but a trCifle
I was surpriGsed it lasted through the mAmonth of May
but now I am too old to lift my rCifle
and youG're still here to waEtch me waste Amaway
F(Fmaj7) C  
my love I've lost so many friends since we got married
and I knGow that you could say the same Amto me
F(Fmaj7) C  
I believe I was the first to ever catch you
perhaps I Gshould be the fiErst to set yoAmu free
--- Interlude ---
I saw you shinAming like the sunlight througCh the window
and the truGth it started slowly sinkiAmng in
and I knew when I walked the door thCis morning
I would Gnever see your prEetty face agAmain
F(Fmaj7) C  
so don't go searching for my body in the cattails
just be Ghappy that I've found a place Amto rest
F(Fmaj7) C  
by the time you read this letter I'll be gone dear
you know I Glove you, but this is for thAme best
you know I Glove you, but thEis is for the Ambest
