Intro: G


G Em
Back in '41, you met a brown-eyed boy
C G
Who called you pretty
G Em C
He'd walk everyday, couple miles out of his way to hold your hand
G
And keep you company

Em C G
Your mama said don't call it love at 14
Am C D
But sittin' on that front porch swing


G
He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Em
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
C G
The way it felt when he held your hand
G
And you swore that you would never take it off
Em
And the butterflies you felt said it all
C G
You were falling with the boy inside your locket


G Em
Back in '43, the brown-eyed boy went overseas
C G
And had to leave town for a little while
G Em
He swore he'd marry you as soon as the war was through
C G
You would be his wife

Em C G
Standing in the pouring rain
Am C D
You cried as you watched him ride away
C
But everyday


G
You had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Em
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
C G
The way his kiss tasted on your lips
G
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
Em
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
C G
'Cause you made a promise to the boy inside your locket


Em C G D
Oh, 60 years you two had together and he's been gone for a couple now
Em C
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
G D
And I've been writing all your memories down
C G
And I stopped by today to read a couple pages
Em G
Grandma, you sure look pretty
C G Am C
And you smile that smile, the one I haven't seen in quite a while
D
And you said to me, I want you to keep


G
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
Em
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
C G
The greatest love and the greatest man I've ever known
G
But it's gettin' time for me to head on home
Em
She said, that brown-eyed boy is waiting and I don't want to keep him long
C G
Heaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longing
G C G
For the boy inside your locket


End on G
