Intro:
G C G
G C G
G C It was just some boards of rough cut pine C G And a quilt of patchwork cotton G A place to lay your body down G D7 G D7 Was that big four poster bed
#1:
G G7 Daddy built it out of pine G7 C G Two days before the wedding G They say the neighbors cheered and hollered A7 D7 'Til his face got red D7 G G7 And Mama brought the feather pillows C G And some handmade bedding G And they spent their wedding night G D7 G D7 In that big four poster bed
#2:
D7 G That night they swore that like that bed G7 C G Their love would last forever G And they'd ask no more of life G A7 D7 Than the simple things they had D7 G So they planned their future G7 C G As they lay there close together G And later I was born there G D7 G In that big four poster bed
Chorus
G7 C It was just some boards of rough cut pine C G And a quilt of patchwork cotton G C G A place to lay your body down G A7 D7 A place to rest your head D7 C A field of fluffy mountains C G For a little girl to hide in G Clouds and chasing rainbows G D7 G D7 Was that big four poster bed
#3:
D7 G G7 I remember, as a child, waking C G up on winter mornings G With the sound of laughing voices G A7 D7 And the smell of baking bread D7 G G7 And running 'cross that cold wood floor C G Jumping in there with them G And Lord I felt so safe and warm G D7 G D7 In that big four poster bed
#4:
D7 G G7 The day that daddy died G7 C G He whispered something soft to mama G To this day she's never told A7 D7 a soul the words he said D7 G G7 She just smiled through her tears G7 C G And held his hand and nodded G And my daddy looked so much at rest G D7 G In that big four poster bed
Chorus:
G7 C It was just some boards of rough cut pine C G And a quilt of patchwork cotton G C G A place to lay your body down G A7 D7 A place to rest your head C A field of fluffy mountains C G For a little girl to hide in G Clouds and chasing rainbows G D7 G D7 Was that big four poster bed
#5:
G G7 Now time has dried up all the tears C G Here I stand a woman G Your arms reach out to touch my soul A7 D7 Your sweet words turn my head G G7 Darling won't you tell me first C G This will be forever G Before you lead me up the stairs D7 G To that big four poster bed
Outro :
G 'Cause only love has ever touched D7 G That big four poster bed
Final Chorus - fade:
G7 C Yes it was just some boards of rough cut pine C G And a quilt of patchwork cotton G C G A place to lay your body down G A7 D7 A place to rest your head D7 C A field of fluffy mountains C G For a little girl to hide in G Clouds and chasing rainbows G D7 G D7 Was that big four poster bed
