INTRO: G D G
[C]Moving O[G]leta was the [Em]hardest [D]thing he'd [C]done
The nurse's saw an old woman [G]crying
But [Em]he saw the love of h[D]is life
She [C]don't know where she is
But she [Bm]knows this isn't [C]home[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard [G]road
[C]He met her in the summer of '[G]37
In a [Em]brush arbour [D]down on the [C]Rush Creek shore
He loved her black hair and the [G]mischief in her smile
But she[Em] won him with her [D]eyes
All the [C]years and children grown
He [Bm]still sees her the [C]same[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard [G]road[C][D]
He [C]woke up each morning and [G]drove into town
He [Em]stayed all [D]day 'til her [C]dinner came
Then he took her to her room, leaned [G]on her wheelchair like a walker[Em]
He covered her with a quilt [D]that she'd made
Only [C]Love and a couple of nurses
Helped the [Bm]old man shoulder the [C]load[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard [G]road
BRIDGE:
And he said,[C] "They tell me this is all that's left
Say, this hell on earth is best[D/F#]
I list all those [G]reasons and I still don't under[D/F#]stand it"[C]
He cursed his body [G]old and weak[C]
Tears of failure [G]burned his cheek
And he said,[D/F#] "Oh, don't you [G]know I prayed to [Em]die before this [C]day"[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard [G]road
There's a [C]shadow much darker than the [G]valley of death
When you [Em]fear the reaper [D]might not [C]come today
They line 'em up in La-z-boys [G]out in the sunroom[Em]
The TV keeps the quiet a[D]way
She [C]can't recall his name
And she's the [Bm]only love he's [C]known[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard [G]road[Bm]
Love is a [D]hard, hard[G] road[Bm]
