(verse)
F Dm Another autumn night it's getting chilly F Dm Birds are gathering round getting ready F Dm The Moon and the sun are both so heavy G Barely off the ground Am Bb He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow Am Bb Sowing the land that's been handed down Gm C F Singing a song from a book that's faded brown F Dm (verse) F Dm Mary she's on the step she's waiting F Dm Hair is like a light from heaven F Dm The family comes together now G Believe in what they found Am Bb Grace is said at the table round Am Bb A prayer before they settle down Gm C F Side by side in a book that's faded brown
(chorus)
Bb C Dm Have you ever wondered why? Bb C Dm There's a rainbow in the sky? Bb C It's all the tears C Dm That God has been crying G And it leaves the world
And it leaves the world
C
With a rainbow for a crown(verse)
F Dm Those that said, said they're the outsiders F Dm G Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame Am Bb For the way of the world is upside down Am Bb They can all hold hands When they walk through town Gm C F Side by side with a book that's faded brown

(verse)
F Dm By the way have I told you already F Dm G That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved Am Bb The way of the world is upside down Am Bb Even the flowers stood without a sound Gm C Pressed together in a book that's faded Gm C Pressed together in a book that's faded Gm C Dm Pressed together in a book that's faded brown Gm C F Bound together in a book that's faded brown
