you remem_

When the

How you

F

stole across the pasture

To the

C

little hidden

G

spring?

Where you

C

laid down

by the

Am

water

C

On a bed

F

of Span

ish

Dm

moss

G

And

C

dreamed

When wind

was on

the prairie

And the

fire was in the

stove

With the

wood you had to

carry

From the

corner

of the

And your

let you

In

And

it was

And

there's a

Always

Dm

looking

the fawn

Verse 2

Cause

I re

C

member, Jody Baxter

When I

Em

hid out in the

corn

How the

F

clouds were moving faster

With the

C

coming of the

G

storm

And I

C

knew that

I had

Am

broken

C

Something

F

I could

Dm

not repair

G

And I

C

mourned

Because the field

was green

as Eden

Then it

Em

withered into brown

In the

F

middle of my grieving

They

C

came and

cut it

G

down

And I was

C

sure that

it was all

Am

my

C

fault

F

The day

they mowed the

Dm

garden

G

To

C

the ground

Chorus 2

What

was

Am

good, good,

G

good

Is

C

gone, gone,

F

gone

And

there's a

Am

little boy

Who's

G

lost out in

the

F

woods

Always

Dm

looking

for

C

the fawn

Bridge 1

So come

F

back to

me

Please, come

C

back to

me

Is there

Am

any way that we

can

Change

C

the ending

of this

F

tragedy?

Or

does it

G

have

to

be

this way?
