David Allan Coe - The Only Thing Missing Is You
[Intro]
C Bm Am F G
[Verse]
The Croses just Bmbloomed in the Amgarden today
The Fwater still runs by the Gcreek by the way
That Cold mother Bmhen is reAmfusing to lay
Our Fbank note long over Gdue
Our Cfamily reBmunion is Amfinished and done
FWe all played horseshoes, but Gnone of us won
CWe all aBmgreed that it Amcould have been fun 
              C            G         C*      
The Only Thing Missing Is you.
[Chorus]
GMissing one lover, Cmissing one wife
FMissing someone who was Cpart of our Glife
It Ccould have been perfect, a loved tried and Ftrue
The COnly Thing GMissing Is Cyou.
C Bm Am F G
The Cmailman Bmdelivers the Ammail everyday
Those Ftrash people still haul, the Ggarbage away 
On CSunday we Bmall go to Amchurch and we pray
There?s Fnothing else different or Gnew
On CFriday we Bmstill go and Amshop at the mall
Were Fcussing the winter, and Gpraying for fall
CThis could have Bmbeen the Ambest year of all
              C            G       C*
The Only Thing Missing Is You.
[Chorus]
The COnly Thing GMissing Is CYou.
