Four Poster Bed

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
