Roy Black – Honey (Guitar)

C                                                                      G
See the tree how big it’s grown but friend it hasn’t been too long, it wasn’t big;

                                                                       C
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig.

                                                                     G
And the first snow came and she run out to brush the snow away so it wouldn’t die,

                                                                  C
Came running in all exited, slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried.

                                                                  G
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart and I loved her so;

                                                                   C
And I surprised her with a puppy, kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.

                                                                          G
And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late ‘cause I would know

                                                                 C
That she’d been sitting there and crying over some sad and silly late night show.

             G                       C                       G                  C
And Honey, I miss you, and I’m being blue and I’d love to be with you if only I could.

C                                                                      G
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I’d be mad, but what the heck;

                                                                          C
Though I pretended hard to be, guess you could say she saw through me and rubbed my neck.

                                                                G
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying needlessly in the middle of the day

                                                                 C
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robin sing she went away.

             G                      C                       G                  C     Em A
And Honey, I miss you and I’m being blue and I’d love to be with you if only I could.

    D                                                                 A
One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone the angels came,

                                                                D
Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up at nights and call her name.

                                                                    A
Now my life’s an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played and loved to love

                                                                         D
And a small cloud passes over head and cries down in the flower bed that Honey loved.

                                                                          A
And see the tree how big it’s grown but friend it hasn’t been too long it wasn't big
