The Locket

Verse 1
 
G	    Em			         C	G 
Back in 41 you met a brown eyed boy who called you pretty 
G	 	        Em				C	             G 
He’d walk every day couple miles out of his way to hold your hand and keep you company 
Em			C	       G	  C		  G	       D 
Your mama said don’t call it love at 14 but sitting on that front porch swing 
 
		G 
He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck 
D/F#	Em					      D/F#   C		G 
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget the way it felt when he held your hand 
						D/F#  Em 
And you swore that you would never take it off and the butterflies you felt said it all 
C					G		D/F# 
You were falling with a boy inside your locket 

Verse 2 

G		Em				     C		         G 
Back in 43 that brown eyed boy went overseas and had to leave town for a little while 
G			    Em				C		G		 
He swore he’d marry you soon as the war was through you would be his wife 
Em		C	G	C				D 
Standing in the pouring rain you cried as you watched him ride away 

 
Em D			   G				 
But every day you had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck 
D/F#	Em					    D/F#    C			   G 
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget the way his kiss tasted on your lips 
D/F#	    G					D/F#     Em					 
And every day felt like a lifetime with him gone and you pray that god would bring him safely home 
	C					G 
Cuz you made a promise to the boy inside your locket 
       Em	     C			G	D 
Oh 60 years you 2 had together he’s been gone for a couple now  
	Em			   C 
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember  
G			   D 
I’ve been writing all your memories down 
	    C		G 
And I stop by today to read a couple pages 
Em			G		C	G 
Grandma you sure look pretty and you smile that smile 
       C		     G		C		D 
The one I haven’t seen in quite a while and you said to me 
	Dsus4 	    D 
I want you to keep 
      G 
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck 
D/F#	   Em						C 
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget the greatest love 
				G 
And the greatest man I’ve ever known 
D/F#	G		 
But it’s getting time for me to head on home 
D/F#		Em 
She said that brown eyed boy is waiting and I don’t wanna keep him long 
C									G 
Heaven is calling and she said my heart is longing for the boy inside your locket
