Honey Chords by Bobby Goldsboro

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
See the tree how big it's grown, but friend it hasn't been too [Dm] long.
It [G] wasn't big I
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
[Dm] Laughed at [G] her and she got [Dm] mad the first day [G] that she planted it [C] was just a twig _ _ _ _ _
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away
[Dm] So it wouldn't [G] die
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
[Dm] Came running [G] in all excited
[Dm] Slipped [G] and almost hurt [C] herself, and I left till I cried
_ _ [C] _
She was always young at heart
kind of dumb and kind of [Dm] smart and I [G] loved her so [Dm] and
_ [G] _ _
I surprised her with a puppy [Dm] kept me up [G] all Christmas Eve
[C] two years ago and _ _ _
It would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
[D] Cuz I [G] would know _ _ _
That she'd been sitting there and crying
Over some sad and [C] silly late late show _ and honey.
[D] I miss [G] you and
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] I'm [C] being good
_ _ _ And I'd love [D] to be with [G] you
_ [Dm] _ [G] If only [C] I could _ _ _ _
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad
[Dm] But what [G] the heck?
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
[Dm] Though I pretended [G] hard to be [Dm] guess you could say [G] she saw through me [C] and hugged my neck I _ _ _ _
Came home
Unexpectedly and caught her crying needlessly
[Dm] in the middle [G] of the day [Dm] and
_ [G] _
[Dm] It was in [G] the early spring [Dm] when flowers [G] bloom and Robin sing [C] she went away
_ _ and
Honey, [Dm] I miss [G] you
[Dm] And _ [G] I'm [C] being good
_ _ _ And I'd love [Dm] to be with you
_ _ _ [G] If only [C] I could
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _
[D] One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone [Em] the [A] angels came
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _
[Em] Now all I [A] have is memories [Em] of honey, [A] and I wake up nice [D] and call her name _ _ _
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played
[Em] And a [A] _ [Em] small _ [A] _ _
[Em] cloud [A] passes overhead [Em] and cries down on the [A] flower bed that [D] honey love
_ And _ _ see the tree how big it's grown, but friend.
It hasn't been too long
[Em] It wasn't [A] big
[Em] And _ [A] I [Em] left at her and she [Em] got mad the first day that she planted it [D] was just _ _ _ _ _ _ _
