Вступление
Capo 7- G
[Verse]
G
She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge
C G
I fell in love in a week or two it didn?t take long to love a girl like that
We were barely ten in the cotton fields playing horseshoe with the colored kids
C G
I tried to kiss her she grabbed a baseball bat
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Waiting on June, I hope she comes to see me
G
Waiting on June, I can?t take this feeling
Cadd9 Em
Waiting on June, I pray to God she?ll love me one of these days
D G
I hope I find my way waiting on June
[Verse]
G
I went off in 42? to fight those boys and pay my dues
C G
Her wallet picture kept my spirits high
Charley Boy died in my arms, he saw Jesus I saw blood
C G
It soaked her wallet picture that cold night
D Cadd9 G
I told my best friend Charley I would kiss his girl goodbye
D Cadd9 G
He made me promise I?d go home and make Miss June my wife
D Cadd9 G
Shaking like a drunk old fool I hopped off of that plane
Em D Cadd9
And I ran home to ask her in the rain
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Waiting on June, I hope that she says yes
G
Waiting on June, in her faded summer dress
Cadd9
Waiting on June, her daddy shook my hand
Em D
And she lit up the moment I pulled out that silver band
G
Waiting on June
[Verse]
G
Well we married at the methodist church
C G
Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt with pecan trees to build our homestead on
Jolynn Becky then Donna then Shelby, our tiny house was a sanctuary
C G
Laughter filled those rooms all day long
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Waiting on June, she?s putting on her makeup
G
Waiting on June, she?s trying to get her hair curled
Cadd9
Waiting on June, kids listen to me
Em D
You walk on down to Sunday school I?ll be there in 15
G
Waiting on June
[Bridge]
G
The time flew by like they said it would
The kids grew fast and the farm did good
Cadd9 G
Mrs. Bertha made our supper everyday
At noon that silver bell would ring
Cadd9 G
We?d all say grace and dig on in we always ate together in those days
D Cadd9 G
Oh one by one those kids went off and found a love their own
D Cadd9 G
There?s nothing like the joy I knew when they brought their babies home
D Cadd9 G
We?d play all day in the cotton fields with the dogs I raised up right
Em D Cadd9
And end in grandma?s kitchen every night
[Chorus]
Cadd
Waiting on June, honey don?t burn the bacon
G
Waiting on June, our bellies are a? achin
Cadd9
Waiting on June, she turns that fork so slow
Em D
And we all had to sit there til the last bite was no more
G
Waiting on June
[Verse]
G
We were slower than we used to be the nursing home told June and me
Cadd9 G
That we?d have separate rooms side by side
D cadd9 G
Oh what I?d give for one more night of sleeping with my wife
D Cadd9 G
Since 45? I?ve touched her skin in the middle of the night
D Cadd9 G
I?m lying in this single bed until they cut the lights
Em D Cadd9
That?s when she?ll sneak in and I?ll be fine
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Waiting on June so we can kiss goodnight
G
Waiting on June I?ll hold her hand so tight
Cadd9
Waiting on June I?ll love her til? I die
D Cadd9
It?s bittersweet when love grows old and you really miss your wife
G
Waiting on June
G
Well they buried me last Tuesday morn
The good lord came and he took me home
Cadd9 G
I closed my eyes and quickly went away
Em D Cadd9
But the angels let me see her everyday
Cadd9
Waiting on June, our mansion is so grand
G
Waiting on June, footprints in the sand
Cadd9
Waiting on June, that?s the story of my life
Em D
Me and Jesus are standing here til? she walks through that light
Cadd9
Waiting on June
