(intro)
F Dm x 4
(verse)
FDm
Another autumn night it's getting chilly
FDm
Birds are gathering round getting ready
FDm
The Moon and the sun are both so heavy
G
Barely off the ground
AmBb
He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow
AmBb
Sowing the land that's been handed down
GmCF
Singing a song from a book that's faded brown
FDm
(verse)
FDm
Mary she's on the step she's waiting
FDm
Hair is like a light from heaven
FDm
The family comes together now
G
Believe in what they found
AmBb
Grace is said at the table round
AmBb
A prayer before they settle down
GmCF
Side by side in a book that's faded brown
(chorus)
BbCDm
Have you ever wondered why?
BbCDm
There's a rainbow in the sky?
BbC
It's all the tears
CDm
That God has been crying
G
And it leaves the world
And it leaves the world
C
With a rainbow for a crown
(verse)
FDm
Those that said, said they're the outsiders
FDmG
Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame
AmBb
For the way of the world is upside down
AmBb
They can all hold hands When they walk through town
GmCF
Side by side with a book that's faded brown
(Garth accordion bridge)
(chorus)
BbCDm
Have you ever wondered why?
BbCDm
There's a rainbow in the sky?
BbC
It's all the tears
CDm
That God has been crying
G
And it leaves the world
And it leaves the world
C
With a rainbow for a crown
Whoa
(verse)
FDm
By the way have I told you already
FDmG
That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved
AmBb
The way of the world is upside down
AmBb
Even the flowers stood without a sound
GmC
Pressed together in a book that's faded
GmC
Pressed together in a book that's faded
GmCDm
Pressed together in a book that's faded brown
GmCF
Bound together in a book that's faded brown
