We met at redhead Mary's house
D
G
on a Bible study night
G
Am
I heard she was a rebel once
D
G
until she saw the light
G
Am
Then in the backseat of a crowed car
D
G
after weeks of holding hands
G
Am
She was slipping me the tongue
D
G
among her Christian friends

We could chuckle and talk for hours
G
D
F#
And then one night over the phone
Em7
C9
she went and told me her best friend's secret
G
D
F#
after she had lowered her tone
Em7
C9
It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,
G
D
F#
all about forgiving and so
Am
D
She thought that God would want me to know
G

D
G
G
Am
her older sisters had both moved out
D
G
and her parents were divorced
G
Am
her mother lived in a trailer park
D
G
not big, but she had a porch
G
Am
and on top of the piano
D
G
laid a cat with evil paws
G
Am
her father he was a proud Nam vet
D
G
I think she hardly saw
Em7

We could chuckle and talk for hours

And then one night over the phone
Em7

she went and told me her best friend's secret
G

after she had lowered her tone
Em7

It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,

G
Am
The old piano she could play so nice
D
G
she had later sadly sold
G
Am
The money was invested in
D
G
the church her husband owned
G
Am
She had a kid when I looked her up
D
G
and another on the way
G
Am
And when we waved our last goodbye
D
G
she said that she would pray
