Am G F E (x2)
[Verse 1]Am G F
Say, say somethin' nice to her, fragrant and sturdier
E
Delicate hands for shoulders sliding down
Am G F
Days, days like a summer rain, blink and they're gone again
E
Soakin' she sits alone, outside and down
[Chorus]F Am G
Prays, prays for her soldier boy, in fire and angry noise
E
Under the thumb of the Lord
F Am G
And waits, quiltin' and quietly, her minor piano keys
E
Slip through the screen on the door
Am G F E (x2)
F Am G E (x2)
[Verse 2]Am G F
Say, say what you mean to her, washing her colander
E
Eyes on the stranger cresting around the bend
Am G F
Days, days like the winter snow, linger 'til heaven knows
E
Naked, she sings the table grace and then
[Chorus]F Am G
Prays, prays for her soldier boy, in fire and angry noise
E
Under the thumb of the Lord
F Am G
And waits, quiltin' and quietly, her minor piano keys
E
Slip through the screen on the door
Am G F E (x2)
