The Prettiest Thing
David Childers

G                                               C                G
It was New Year's Day in the seaside bar. There was a special on PBR
G                            D                
The ocean roared outside the door
G                                        C                  G
No one but us and some hardcore drinkers lost in the stormy day
G                                  D                    G
How blue was the blue of your eyes against the skies of grey

D                                       C                  G
Do you remember what we talked about? I just remember your face
G                        D           G             
The prettiest thing that I have ever seen

G                                        C                 G 
Well it must have been a wrong turn that took you to Cedar Falls
G                                  D     
Or maybe Kansas City? Hell I don't know
G                       C                       G                  
We just kept on rolling it was too late to turn around
G             D          G
We ran out of road in Arizona

D                                       C                  G
Do you remember what we talked about? I just remember your face
G                        D           G             
The prettiest thing that I have ever seen

BREAK

G                                 C                  G
Then you left me in that depot in Gastonia with your mother
G                                   D        
And what you still had left of self-respect
G                               C                   G   
I know you tried to tell me but that's when I was a drinkin'
G                             D       G 
I could not find the words to win you back
 
D                                       C                  G
Do you remember what we talked about? I just remember your face
G                        D           G             
The prettiest thing that I have ever seen

BREAK

G                                 C           G     
It changed your mind about me and I sure understand 
G                                D
Years and miles are not what you deserve
G                           C             G 
I heard you got married and he's a decent man 
G                        D              G  
Although some say he's a little bit too reserved 

D                                       C                  G
Do you remember what we talked about? I just remember your face
G                        D           G             
The prettiest thing that I have ever seen

D                                       C                  G
Do you remember what we talked about? I just remember your face
G                        D           G             
The prettiest thing that I have ever seen

BREAK ON CHORUS TWICE AND END
