Sixty Years Ago

G D Em A D


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


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

G                    D     Bm    A           D
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago


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


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


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