Waiting On June Acoustic

Capo 7- G

             G
She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge
                                    C                                   G 
I fell in love in a week or two it didn?t take long to love a girl like that
              
We were barely ten in the cotton fields playing horseshoe with the colored kids
   C                                        G 
I tried to kiss her she grabbed a baseball bat


             Cadd9                                                           
Waiting on June, I hope she comes to see me
             G                              
Waiting on June, I can?t take this feeling
             Cadd9                                          Em 
Waiting on June, I pray to God she?ll love me one of these days
           D                     G  
I hope I find my way waiting on June


               G 
I went off in 42? to fight those boys and pay my dues
     C                               G
Her wallet picture kept my spirits high
              
Charley Boy died in my arms, he saw Jesus I saw blood
    C                                  G
It soaked her wallet picture that cold night


   D                                   Cadd9            G
I told my best friend Charley I would kiss his girl goodbye
             D                          Cadd9          G
He made me promise I?d go home and make Miss June my wife
                 D                Cadd9              G    
Shaking like a drunk old fool I hopped off of that plane
       Em          D            Cadd9                           
And I ran home to ask her in the rain


          Cadd9
Waiting on June, I hope that she says yes
             G
Waiting on June, in her faded summer dress
            Cadd9
Waiting on June, her daddy shook my hand
 Em                                D
And she lit up the moment I pulled out that silver band
             G
Waiting on June

        
         G
Well we married at the methodist church
                                                C                                 G
Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt with pecan trees to build our homestead on
                                     
Jolynn Becky then Donna then Shelby, our tiny house was a sanctuary
C                                     G
Laughter filled those rooms all day long


           Cadd9   
Waiting on June, she?s putting on her makeup
             G 
Waiting on June, she?s trying to get her hair curled
            Cadd9
Waiting on June, kids listen to me
     Em                               D
You walk on down to Sunday school I?ll be there in 15
            G
Waiting on June


       G             
The time flew by like they said it would
           
The kids grew fast and the farm did good
       Cadd9                   G
Mrs. Bertha made our supper everyday
   
At noon that silver bell would ring
                                      Cadd9                      G
We?d all say grace and dig on in we always ate together in those days

     
    D                                  Cadd9             G
Oh one by one those kids went off and found a love their own
          D                                   Cadd9                 G
There?s nothing like the joy I knew when they brought their babies home
          D                                      Cadd9              G
We?d play all day in the cotton fields with the dogs I raised up right
    Em                  D            Cadd9
And end in grandma?s kitchen every night


           Cadd
Waiting on June, honey don?t burn the bacon
            G
Waiting on June, our bellies are a? achin
            Cadd9
Waiting on June, she turns that fork so slow
 Em                                        D 
And we all had to sit there til the last bite was no more
            G
Waiting on June


           G             
We were slower than we used to be the nursing home told June and me
               Cadd9                   G
That we?d have separate rooms side by side
   D                                   cadd9               G
Oh what I?d give for one more night of sleeping with my wife
       D                                Cadd9          G
Since 45? I?ve touched her skin in the middle of the night
      D                             Cadd9           G
I?m lying in this single bed until they cut the lights
      Em                  D             Cadd9
That?s when she?ll sneak in and I?ll be fine


             Cadd9
Waiting on June so we can kiss goodnight
            G 
Waiting on June I?ll hold her hand so tight
            Cadd9
Waiting on June I?ll love her til? I die
           D                                 Cadd9
It?s bittersweet when love grows old and you really miss your wife
            G
Waiting on June


            G   
Well they buried me last Tuesday morn

The good lord came and he took me home
    Cadd9                           G
I closed my eyes and quickly went away
         Em            D          Cadd9
But the angels let me see her everyday
            Cadd9 
Waiting on June, our mansion is so grand
            G
Waiting on June, footprints in the sand
            Cadd9
Waiting on June, that?s the story of my life
Em                                   D         
Me and Jesus are standing here til? she walks through that light
            Cadd9
Waiting on June
