Flowers in Her Hands Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]He [D]was[G] se[D]lli[G]ng [Em]dirt[D]
worms [C]out in the [D]summer [G]sun
[C]And she came by [G]on her pedal bik[D]e
[Em]And she said, "What you doin[D]' boy?"
with her [C]cheeks full [D]of [G]bubblegum
And [C]sat down on his
apple box and [G]smiled[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]She said, "I'm missing one f[G]ront tooth,
but I could [C]be some company"
[Am]So they spent that summe[G]r diggin'
[D]holes down by the stream
She'd [G]say, "You're my best friend,
the first [D]one I ever had"
He'd just [G]smiled and said,
"I love you" without [C]a word
He'd put some [G]flowers [D]in her hands
As they sat there in the sand
On the [G]bank [C]of the river
[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Well, he was never [D]good at sayin'
[C]what was [D]on [G]his heart[C]
And those [G]three words never [D]came out
[Em]And she grew up and fell[D] in love
[C]with [D]his quiet [G]charm[C]
And if it hurt her she didn't [D]tell
[Am]'Cause he knew how to say [G]I love
you in [C]every other [Am]way
He tried his [G]best to show it on
[D]their wedding day

[Verse 4]
When she said
[G]"You're my best friend The
first [D]one I ever had"
He'd just [G]smiled and said "I love
you" without [C]a word
He'd put some [D]flowers in her hands
As they stood there in the sand
On the [G]bank [C]of the riv[D]er[G]
[D][G][D][G]
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
[C]
They had years of life
And [G]their cup [C]overflowed
It came time for him to walk
[G]some of them [D]alone
And he said
[G]"You were my best friend,
the only [D]one I really had
Oh, how I [G]wish you could have heard
me say those word[C]s"
And he put some [G]flowers [D]in her hands
As he laid her [G]in the sand
[D]And cri[G]ed tha[C]t he loved her
[D]On his knees
[Am]By the river
[C][D]
