Reba McEntire – Moving Oleta (Guitar)

C       G            Em      D          C
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done

                             G
The nurse's saw an old woman crying

    Em                  D
But he saw the love of his life

    C
She don't know where she is

        Bm               C      Bm
But she knows this isn't home

          D          G
Love is a hard, hard road

C                            G  
He met her in the summer of '37

     Em           D           C
In a brush arbour down on the Rush Creek shore

                                G
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile

       Em                D
But she won him with her eyes

        C
All the years and children grown

   Bm                 C      Bm
He still sees her the same

          D          G      C  D
Love is a hard, hard road

   C                        G  
He woke up each morning and drove into town

   Em         D            C
He stayed all day 'til her dinner came

                                     G                                Em
Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker

                            D
He covered her with a quilt that she'd made

     C
Only Love and a couple of nurses

           Bm                   C      Bm
Helped the old man shoulder the load

          D          G    
Love is a hard, hard road

            C
And he said, "They tell me this is all that's left

                                D/F#
Say, this hell on earth is best

                 G                              D/F#     C
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it"

                   G             C
He cursed his body old and weak

                 G
Tears of failure burned his cheek

            D/F#            G                Em              C       Bm
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day"

          D          G    
Love is a hard, hard road

          C                           G  
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death

         Em              D         C
When you fear the reaper might not come today

                              G                   Em
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom

                        D
The TV keeps the quiet away

    C
She can't recall his name

              Bm             C      Bm
And she's the only love he's known

          D          G       Bm
Love is a hard, hard road

          D         G          Bm
Love is a hard, hard road

C       G            Em      D          G
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
