Moving Oleta
INTRO: G D G
C G Em D C
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
G
The nurse's saw an old woman crying
Em D
But he saw the love of his life
C
She don't know where she is
Bm C Bm
But she knows this isn't home
D G
Love is a hard, hard road
C G
He met her in the summer of '37
Em D C
In a brush arbour down on the Rush Creek shore
G
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile
Em D
But she won him with her eyes
C
All the years and children grown
Bm C Bm
He still sees her the same
D G C D
Love is a hard, hard road
C G
He woke up each morning and drove into town
Em D C
He stayed all day 'til her dinner came
G Em
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
Bm C Bm
Helped the old man shoulder the load
D G
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
G D/F# C
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it"
G C
He cursed his body old and weak
G
Tears of failure burned his cheek
D/F# G Em C Bm
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day"
D G
Love is a hard, hard road
C G
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death
Em D C
When you fear the reaper might not come today
G Em
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
Bm C Bm
And she's the only love he's known
D G Bm
Love is a hard, hard road
D G Bm
Love is a hard, hard road
