Moving Oleta

INTRO: G   D  G

C       G            Em      D 
Moving Oleta was the hardest 
         C
thing he'd done
                             G
The nurse's saw an old woman crying
    Em                  D
But he saw the love of his life
    C
She don't know where she is
        Bm               C      Bm
But she knows this isn't home
          D          G
Love is a hard, hard road


C                            G
He met her in the summer of '37
     Em           D           C
In a brush arbour down on the Rush 
Creek shore
He loved her black hair and the 
G
mischief in her smile
       Em                D
But she won him with her eyes
        C
All the years and children grown
   Bm                 C      Bm
He still sees her the same
          D          G      C  D
Love is a hard, hard road

   C                        G
He woke up each morning and drove 
into town
   Em         D            C
He stayed all day 'til her dinner 
came
Then he took her to her room, leaned
 G                                Em
 on her wheelchair like a walker
                            D
He covered her with a quilt that 
she'd made
     C
Only Love and a couple of nurses
           Bm                   C 
Helped the old man shoulder the 
     Bm
load
          D          G
Love is a hard, hard road

            C
And he said, "They tell me this is 
all that's left
                                D/F#
Say, this hell on earth is best
                 G                 
I list all those reasons and I 
             D/F#     C
still don't understand it"
                   G             C
He cursed his body old and weak
                 G
Tears of failure burned his cheek
            D/F#            G     
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I
           Em              C       
 prayed to die before this day"

Love is a hard, hard road


          C                      
There's a shadow much darker than 
     G
the valley of death
         Em              D         
When you fear the reaper might not 
C
come today
                              G    
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out 
               Em
in the sunroom
                        D
The TV keeps the quiet away
    C
She can't recall his name
              Bm             C    
And she's the only love he's known
  Bm

          D          G       Bm
Love is a hard, hard road
          D         G          Bm
Love is a hard, hard road
