Sixty Years Ago

G D Em A D


[Verse]
D                D/F#    G      
A blessed candle burning alights
            D/F#
 her golden band
D                                
Her beads and Book of Prayer are 
Em             A  Asus  A
resting in her hand
D          D/F#                G
He pulls a chair beside her to 
              D
sit with her a while
Em            D/F#   G          
She turns her feeble body close 
                A    D
to give him one last smile


[Chorus]
      G        A       D      G 
As he held her wedding finger 
        A   D
softly he did say
G                   D     Bm     
I remember when you said “I do” -
 Em               A  Asus  A
 seems like yesterday
         D                 D/F#   
When you took my name that morning
    G         A   Bm
 my heart did overflow

And I still feel the way I did -

[Verse]
D                          D/F#  
With a damp white cloth he 
      G                       D/F#
soothes her his soul mate, his best 
friend
D                          Em    
Her suffering now is over, he 
               A  Asus  A
knows this is the end
D                         D/F#    
She said “They're here to take me,
 G                    D
 it's time to say goodbye”
Em                 D/F#   G     
One last breath, a gentle kiss, 
             A        D
a tear falls from his eye


[Chorus]
      G        A       D      G 
As he held her wedding finger 
        A   D
softly he did say
G                   D     Bm     
I remember when you said “I do” -
 Em               A  Asus  A
 seems like yesterday
         D                 D/F#   
When you took my name that morning
    G         F#7 Bm
 my heart did overflow
G                    D     Bm    
And I still feel the way I did -

Yes I still feel the way I did -
