Chords for The Parsons Family Just inside the gate

I know.
We try our very best to bring [C#] someone that we love so dear, such [F#] as you, Jay Stanley,
who has to retire, [C#] we're going to stick it here.
There is just no way.
And this is the
first time we've been back without him [N] here.
[A] _
_ [F#] And [E] then I look over and I don't see Brother
here.
[G#] He's here.
No, ma'am.
It's hard when you don't get to say goodbye.
[E] _ Olivia's got this song that Brother [A] Ronnie springs here [Em] in Kentucky where it says,
just inside the [E] gate, walk [G] once, wait.
You see, just one step inside [B] the gate,
there's no more pain.
There's no more [D] suffering, no more suffering.
Just one step.
Imagine [A] all the rest of Kevin will be alive.
[E] I have a mom [Bm] and a dad.
My mom's a Catholic
there.
When [B] Mama left, she couldn't [C#] talk to me.
She had a brain tumor.
[Bm] She couldn't say
anything.
She couldn't talk to me.
[E] Let me tell you just quickly what happened the night that
they called us home.
[Bm] [D] She had been having seizures and things like that [E] from the tumor.
[Em] They finally got her medicated and [E] settled down.
We came in.
It was [A#] about midnight that night when
we finally [E] got there.
We traveled four hours from Indiana.
I was a mess just to get there.
I walked in and I [Em] had a little present because just in a few days, it was going to be my mom
[E] and daddy's anniversary.
[D] There's this [E] old now, I was [Em] just about six months old, me and my twin [E] sister.
[D] We were the youngest, the [Em] babies.
I framed this old family picture, probably the only one [G] that
we ever took [D] together.
I had it put in a really [Em] pretty frame and I brought it back home to her.
I was trying [F#] to show her.
She was non-responsive, just breaking my heart.
I was 29 years old.
[C#m] I [E] didn't know how to live without my mom.
[D] _ [C#] As sure [Em] as I'm standing here, I would
bet [E] everything that I had [D] if I was a betting lady or [A] I'd give it all to you if I lied to you.
As soon as I said, Mom, [G] you know that Jesus [F#m] is waiting.
The moment I [F#] spoke his name, her eyes
[G] and then they closed.
[E] She never opened her big in [E] until she got to home.
But just inside the gate, folks, I'm sure
through all her sickness, she also had a leg amputated.
Mom is going to [Bm] come running.
_ [D] She'll yell my [B] name like only mom could.
[E] Annette.
Annette.
