Pearl Chords

INTRO:
D  C  D  G D G
 
VERSE:
             G              D
He sees her sittin’ by the gate post
         C                 G
As his truck pulls in the yard
     C                  D               G   D
He knows all day she’s waited for him there
 
    G                 D
And even though he’s bone tired
    C                      G
He finds the strength to smile
      C                D              G   D
It’s good to know at least somebody cares
 
 
VERSE:
         G               D
So they walk up to the front porch
            C                 G
Where they sit there side by side
     C                    D              G  D
She wags her tail as he talks about his day
 
             G                D
He says my Pearl your wait is over
          C                   G
We’ll go huntin’   when it's dawn
                C
And I’ll keep quiet
          D                G  G
And hear what you have to say
 
 
CHORUS:
         G                 D
You can sing your song for me
             C
Throw your sweet voice
        G
To the wind
      C               D
That music makes me shiver
             G  D
Through the bo-ne
 
        G               D
When I hear the hollow ringing
             C               G
I know your singin’ just for me
          C                 D            G  D
And it’s then that I don’t feel so all alone
        C            D            G   D
For a while I don’t feel so all alone
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL:
G  D  C  G
C  D  G  D
 
 
VERSE:
      G           D
The years go by hunts come and go
      C                G
Both man and dog grow old
             C
And they’re both convinced
         D
They’ll pass
            G   D
Without a trace
 
       G              D
One December day he knows it’s time
    C                     G
He hugs his sweetheart’s neck
         C
And he whispers Pearl
        D               G   D
Please run me one more race
 
 
CHORUS:
        G                 D
Pearl, sing your song for me
             C
Throw your sweet voice
        G
To the wind
      C               D
That music makes me shiver
             G  D
Through the bo-ne
 
        G               D
When I hear the hollow ringing
             C               G
I know your singin’ just for me
          C             D            G  D
And it’s then, I don’t feel so all alone
        C            D            G   E
For a while I don’t feel so all alone
 
    ==== KEY CHANGE ====
 
VERSE:
   A               E
I sit outside the same house
           D                 A
Where the old man lived and died
         D                E                A  E
And I’m watching Pearl’s puppies fight and pl-ay
      A                  E
Both dad and Pearl have gone away
            D            A
But their spirits linger on
          D                 E             A  E
And on a cool clear morn I hear my daddy say
 
 
CHORUS:
       A                 E
Pearl sing your song for me
             D                 A
Throw your sweet voice to the wind
      D               E           A  E
That music makes me shiver to the bo-ne
 
             A                 E
You got the good Lords ears a ringing
         D              A
As you praise His holy name
        D            E            A    E
And up here I don’t feel so all alone-one
 
        D      E               A
Pearly Mae we finally made it home
A                D      E                  A  D  A
My sweet Pearly Mae we finally made it hoooome
       A
Oh yeah
