The Locket

	  		
Verse 1
 
G	    Em			         C	G 
Back in 41 you met a brown eyed boy who called you pretty 
G	 	        Em				C	             G 
He’d walk every day couple miles out of his way to hold your hand and keep you company 
Em			C	       G	  C		  G	       D 
Your mama said don’t call it love at 14 but sitting on that front porch swing 
 
tabchorus
G He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck D/F# Em D/F# C G Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget the way it felt when he held your hand D/F# Em And you swore that you would never take it off and the butterflies you felt said it all C G D/F# You were falling with a boy inside your locket

Verse 2 G Em C G Back in 43 that brown eyed boy went overseas and had to leave town for a little while G Em C G He swore he’d marry you soon as the war was through you would be his wife Em C G C D Standing in the pouring rain you cried as you watched him ride away Em D G But every day you had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck D/F# Em D/F# C G Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget the way his kiss tasted on your lips D/F# G D/F# Em And every day felt like a lifetime with him gone and you pray that god would bring him safely home C G Cuz you made a promise to the boy inside your locket Em C G D Oh 60 years you 2 had together he’s been gone for a couple now Em C And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember G D I’ve been writing all your memories down C G And I stop by today to read a couple pages Em G C G Grandma you sure look pretty and you smile that smile C G C D The one I haven’t seen in quite a while and you said to me Dsus4 D I want you to keep G His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck D/F# Em C The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget the greatest love G And the greatest man I’ve ever known D/F# G But it’s getting time for me to head on home D/F# Em She said that brown eyed boy is waiting and I don’t wanna keep him long C G Heaven is calling and she said my heart is longing for the boy inside your locket
