Intro: GDGCGEmDC
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
G
The nurse's saw an old woman crying
EmD
But he saw the love of his life
C
She don't know where she is
BmCBm
But she knows this isn't home
DG
Love is a hard, hard road
CG
He met her in the summer of '37
EmDC
In a brush arbour down on the Rush Creek shore
G
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile
EmD
But she won him with her eyes
C
All the years and children grown
BmCBm
He still sees her the same
DGCD
Love is a hard, hard road
CG
He woke up each morning and drove into town
EmDC
He stayed all day 'til her dinner came
GEm
Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker
D
He covered her with a quilt that she'd made
C
Only Love and a couple of nurses
BmCBm
Helped the old man shoulder the load
DG
Love is a hard, hard road
Bridge:
C
And he said, "They tell me this is all that's left
D/F#
Say, this hell on earth is best
GD/F#C
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it"
GC
He cursed his body old and weak
G
Tears of failure burned his cheek
D/F#GEmCBm
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day"
DG
Love is a hard, hard road
CG
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death
EmDC
When you fear the reaper might not come today
GEm
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom
D
The TV keeps the quiet away
C
She can't recall his name
BmCBm
And she's the only love he's known
DGBm
Love is a hard, hard road
DGBm
Love is a hard, hard road
