C
It was just some boards of rough cut pine
C G
And a quilt of patch work cotton
G
A place to lay your body down
D7 G
Was that big four poster bed
G
Daddy built it out of pine
C G
Two days before the wedding
G
They say the neighbors cheered and hollered
A7 D7
Till his face got red
G
And Mama brought the feather pillows
C G
And some handmade bedding
G
And they spent their wedding night
D7 G
In that big four poster bed
G
That night they swore like that bed
C G
Their love would last forever
G
And they'd ask no more of life
A7 D7
Than the simple things they had
G
So they planed there future
C G
As they laid close together
G
And later I was born there
D7 G
In that big four poster bed
C
It was just some boards of rough cut pine
C G
And a quilt of patch work cotton
C G
A place to lay your body down
A7 D7
A place to rest your head
C
A field of fluffy mountains
C G
For a little girl to hide in
G
Clouds and chasing rainbows
D7 G
Was that big four poster bed
G
I remember as a child waking up
C G
On a winter morning
G
With Sound of laughing voices
A7 D7
And the smell of baking bread
G
And running across that coal wood floor
C G
Jumping there with them
G
And Lord I felt so safe and warm
D7 G
In that big four poster bed
G
The day that daddy died
C G
He whispered something soft to mama
G
To this day she's never told a soul
A7 D7
The words he said
G
She just smiled through her tears
C G
And held his hand and nodded
And my daddy looked so much at rest
D7 G
In that big four poster bed
G
Now time has dried up all the tears
C G
Here I stand a woman
G
Your arms reach out to touch my soul
A7 D7
Your sweet words turn my head
G
Darling won't you tell me first
C G
This will be forever
G
Before you lead me up the stairs
D7 G
To that big four poster bed
G
Cause only love has ever touched
D7 G
That big four poster bed
