[Intro]
Am F G
[Verse 1]
Am F
It was early Monday morning when I got that call
C G
said she’d been to the doctor and I should come on home
Am F
she was standing in the front yard ~ teardrops in her eyes
C G
she says the cancer’s got me baby ~ they say that I’m gonna die
F G
so I took her by the hands ~ and we fell on our knees
F G
she looked me in the eye and she asked me
[Chorus]
C G
So I made a Promise that I didn’t wanna keep ~
Am F
as I held her in my arms ~ we faded off to sleep ~
C G
I swore I’d take her to the ocean ~ watch her float away from me ~
Am F
spread her ashes in the wind and set her spirit free ~
C G C
that night I made a Promise I didn’t want to keep ~
[Verse 2]
Am F
Well the days went by so fast and it was hard to see ~
C G
the woman that I love wither away in front of me ~
Am F
She could barely stand up and she could hardly speak ~
C G
But she’d look me in the eye and she’d ask me ~
[Chorus]
C G
So I made a Promise that I didn’t wanna keep ~
Am F
as I held her in my arms ~ we faded off to sleep ~
C G
I swore I’d take her to the ocean ~ watch her float away from me ~
Am F
spread her ashes in the wind and set her spirit free ~
C G C
that night I made a Promise I didn’t want to keep ~
[Bridge]
Bb G
but I held on tight with all my might ~ and she put up a valiant fight ~
Bb G
but in the end we said goodbye and I headed out toward South Carolina ~
[Chorus]
C G
So I kept my Promise that I didn’t wanna keep ~
Am F
cause I took her to the ocean and watched her float away from me ~
C G
I spread her ashes in the wind and I set her spirit free ~
Am F
then I sat down on that beach knowing she’d have done the same for me ~
C G Am G F
That night I kept my Promise that I didn’t wanna keep ~
C G C
That night I kept my Promise that I didn’t wanna keep ~
