What did your mama fry chicken in?
Lard.
She fried chicken in lard in a cast iron skillet.
Bring peace to the Middle East.
Yes sir.
[F] Give us another song.
Bring [C] peace to the diner.
It's a beautiful song.
We sang this at our wedding.
[G] We sure did.
Tried to.
Yeah, we tried our best to.
The preacher had a brainstorm.
He thought, why don't y'all sing like they do the unity candle.
You sang one to her, she'll sing one to you, and then y'all sing one to each other.
Well, that sounded like a [B] pretty good idea.
[F] Until we started trying to sing it and I felt like I swallowed a tennis ball.
Had this big old thing in my throat and got very [C] emotional.
You betcha.
Anywho.
Now we've been married 33 [G] years.
We'll try not to cry.
If I needed you.

Oh, the night's forlorn and the morning's born.
And the morning's born with the [G] lights [C] of love.
And you'll miss sunrise if you close your eyes.
And that [F] would break [G] my [C] heart in two.
If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come [F] to me for [G] to [C] ease my pain?
