Chords for Tribute to Billie Jo

_ _ _ _ _ _ A cold day in December when [E] the word came down [B] the line
_ About a country legend, a real true [F#] friend of mine
_ _ [B] People they were talking but [E] I sat there not [B] a sound
_ When I heard Billy Joe had [F#] finally laid the [B] blanket down _
Some songs we sang together yet [E] we both made them [B] our own
_ Then we were just two country girls from Texas and [F#] Toronto
_ _ [B] I prayed to God in heaven [E] that peace at last she [B] found
_ _ When I heard Billy Joe had [F#] finally laid the [B] blanket down _
[E] The friend I had in Billy Joe [B] again I'll never find
She sang me that old fashioned song and what I've got in [F#] mind
_ [B] That 57 Chevrolet, [E] the blanket on [B] the ground
_ I cried the day my friend BJ [F#] she laid the blanket [B] down
I'll be _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] forever grateful for [F] my time spent with [C] you friend
_ _ The shows we did, the songs we sang are sadly at [G] an end
But _
[C] someday in the heaven [F] we'll meet again [C] I know
_ And we'll sing blanket on the ground [G] just me and Billy [C] Joe
_ _ _ [F] The friend I had in Billy Joe [C] again I'll never find
She sang me that old fashioned song and what I've got in [G] mind
That [C] 57 Chevrolet, [F] the blanket on [C] the ground
I cried the day my friend BJ [G] she laid the blanket [C] down
_ [F] The friend I had in Billy Joe [C] again I'll never find
She sang me that old fashioned song and what I've got in [G] _ mind
That [C] 57 Chevrolet, the [F] blanket on [C] the ground
_ I cried the day my friend BJ [G] she laid the blanket [C] down _
The day that my friend Billy Joe [G] she laid the blanket [C] down _
[A#] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
