Devotion

[Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [D] [C]

 [Em] I pulled  [G] out with the  [D] mountain laurel  [C] blooming
 [Em] On a dirt  [G] road that is  [D] soon to be  [C] paved
 [Em] Down to the  [G] site of my  [D] original  [C] establishment
 [Em] And the  [G] west end  [D] family  [C] grave

Cause  [G] one day  [D] moves into  [Em] two and I'm  [C] losing
 [G] Every [D] thing except for  [Em] you  [C]
And  [G] I would  [D] sing you a  [Em] song of  [C] devotion  [G]
Yeah  [D] that's what I  [Em] should do  [C]

 Em Blood runs  G thick and  D when it rains it  C pours down
 Em On the family  G tree on the  D fields of  C war
 Em I spend my  G time being  D broken hearted and  C grieving bound
 Em Yeah I haven't  G much need  D to look  C forward

Just let  G one day  D move into  Em two, I'm  C losing
 G Every D thing except for  Em you  C
And  G I would  D sing you a  Em song of  C devotion  G
Yeah  D that's what I  Em should do  C

 G Book of  Em days
 G The way  Em things lay
 G That's just  D space and  C time
 G I gave it  Em up
 G All for a  Em love
 G That won't  D be  C defined

 Em I've had  G enough temp D orary acqui C sition
 Em Building  G fences  D for no  C gain
 Em Taking  G dead trees  D down before  C the winter freeze
I  Em said let 'em  G rot and  D fall where  C they may

And let  G one day  D move into  Em two, I'm  C losing
 G Every D thing except for  Em you  C
And  G I would  D sing you a  Em song of  C devotion  G
Yeah  D that's what I  Em should do  C

 G It's the book of  D days
 Em It's the way  C things lay
 G Now that's just  D space and  Em time  C
 G I gave it  D up
 Em All for your  C love
 G  D That's what I  Em should do C
 G  D That's what I  Em should do C
 G  D That's what I  Em should do C
