nd Fret
Intro: G C G C G
C G
I met you once in a living room in Jackson
C
Thought of you for six years or more
D G
One hour, you were my secret standard
A7 D C
One night, you walked back through my door___
G C G
Your lanky frame was not what I remembered
C
Waking from a long and fitful sleep
D G
But after early morning conversation
A7 D G
I drove to north Texas in disbelief
C G D G
That quaking in my heart was too deep for words
Em Am D
It tremored and it trembled and it ached___
G C
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
G D G C G D G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
C G
Fortunes not made and not discovered
C
There were mentors, we were protégés
D G
From one rite of passage to another
A7 D C
We roughed through the wellsprings of our early days
G C G
And underneath that surface there was something
C
Only you and I could understand
D G ~ Em
I made my commitment to that long ago
G D G
Standing in the hallway down in Dixieland
C G D G
And that quaking in my heart too deep for words
Em Am D
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___
G C
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
G D G C G D G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
C G
There's one thing that I love more than Austin
C
Or curving 'round the Frio on her turquoise streets
D G
It's your melancholy dread of Sunday evenings
A7 D C
Your shivering body when it sleeps__
G C G
The future's looking stormy here before us
C
There are wars, calamities and tribulations
D G ~ Em
We'll hatchet down the windows if we have to
G D G
And stand the watch together 'til the morning
C G D G
'Cause that quaking in my heart's too deep for words
Em Am D
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___
G C
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge
G D G C G D G
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
