(intro)
F Dm x 4
(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
[Garth accordion bridge]
(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
Whoa
(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
