C G Held her hand in Old Savannah D G Marigold print on her dress C G Her hair was combed and parted D Like a beautiful princess C G I didn't see you at the altar D G Way back then you were so drunk C G You were washed up on some hooker's bed D Behind a shitty restaurants C G Bought her pretty clothes and diamonds D G The guy was born to be her man C G We were more than commentary D For a cheap headline grab C G So when the wind blows in your window D G 'Cause the storm don't give a damn C Pray the window don't break G D Across the wrist of your writing hand C G On a stationary wept with tears D G Of the peoples backs you stab C G When you're hiding like a robber D With no one's purse to grab C G D Remember me standing there holding out my hand
