[Intro 1]
[G][Dsus4][D][G][D][G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
On [G]a gravel [C]bac[D]k- roa[G]d,
[Dsus4]down deep[D] in[G] the Fall[D][G]
So long [C]ago,
yet how well I recall
[G]My Grandfather[C]'s green [G]tru[Dsus4]ck[D]
[G]with the[Dsus4] rusted- out rim[G]s[Dsus4][G]
And me [D]on the seat,
'tween my Mamma and him
How we rattled [G]along,
[Dsus4]'till the[G] old Ford, it stalled
And Momma said "Jump on [C]out,
pick you a big cotton ball"
An Autumn [G]leaf [Dsus4]scraped
[G]its way 'cross the roa[D]d
We were headed [G]back home.
[Dsus4]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 2]
See [G]the proud, [D]thrust[G]ing,
[Dsus4]curve of [G]the robin's red breast[Dsus4][G]
Out [C]gathering worms to
return to her nest,
The lavender [G]haze [Dsus4]at the fi[G]rst light of daw[D]n,[G]
[Dsus4][G]
A woman's [D]clear voice lilting in song,
And all the fine [G]words [Dsus4]our poets[G] ha[Dsus4]ve said,[G]
[Dsus4][G]
The sparkling [C]dew upon
the spider's silk web!
Does one mat[G]ter [Dsus4]more?
[D]Doe[G]s one matter less?[D]
Who of us [G]can say?

[Interlude 2]

[Dsus4][G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]The tents are rolled [G]up,
[Dsus4]the Reviv[G]al'[D]s le[Dsus4]ft town[G][Dsus4][G]
All that re[C]main[G]s[C]
is the fine sawdust ground
Still wet [G]from the [Dsus4]tears
[G]that fell from the eyes
[Dsus4]Of folks [G]too far down[D]
to hang back in pride
And I am here, [G]too,
[Dsus4]like I al[G] ways wa[D]s:[G][D][G][Dsus4][G]
[Am]Deep [G]in [C]the pain, strong in the love
Still singing my [G]prayer[D][G]
to Heaven [D]above[Asus4][D]
[Dsus4]Heartfelt [G]an d true.

[Interlude 3]
[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
Once [D]you were the [G]dawn, [Dsus4]the dusk,[D][G]
[D]and t[G]he ligh[Dsus4]t[G]
Without [C]the dream of holding you tight
My days [G]turned to black,
[Dsus4]I could h[G]ardly take [Dsus4]breath[G][Dsus4][D][G]
I stumbled my [D]way thru
a fate worse than death
But like the Phoenix [G]that [Dsus4]rose righ[G]t out of the [D]fire,
[G][Dsus4][C][G]
I came [C]back too, from a bed of desire
And shook from [G]my [Dsus4]wings
[D]the[G] ash from the py[D]re,
And headed [G]back home.
