[Verse 1]
G Am
We met at redhead Mary's house
D G
on a Bible study night
G Am
I heard she was a rebel once
D G
until she saw the light
G Am
Then in the backseat of a crowed car
D G
after weeks of holding hands
G Am
She was slipping me the tongue
D G
among her Christian friends
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
We could chuckle and talk for hours
G G D F#
And then one night over the phone
Em7 Cadd9
she went and told me her best friend's secret
G G D F#
after she had lowered her tone
Em7 Cadd9
It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,
G G D F#
all about forgiving and so
Am D
She thought that God would want me to know
G Am D G x2
[Verse 2]
G Am
her older sisters had both moved out
D G
and her parents were divorced
G Am
her mother lived in a trailer park
D G
not big, but she had a porch
G Am
and on top of the piano
D G
laid a cat with evil paws
G Am
her father he was a proud Nam vet
D G
I think she hardly saw
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
We could chuckle and talk for hours

[Verse 3]
G Am
The old piano she could play so nice
D G
she had later sadly sold
G Am
The money was invested in
D G
the church her husband owned
G Am
She had a kid when I looked her up
D G
and another on the way
G Am
And when we waved our last goodbye
D G
she said that she would pray
