Augusta Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Jeff Olson

[G]Oh how I [C]love you Au[G]gusta
And [G]now that the [C]years have gone [G]by
[G]I surely [C]see how much [G]you meant to [Em]me
How I [G]ne’er thought tha[C]t you’d make[G] me cry. [D]
But I [G]see your sweet [C]ghost through my [G]eyelids
How you’[G]d comfort m[C]e when I wa[G]s wrong
And those [G]sweet memo[C]ries are [G]all I can [D]see
Now that [G]you, sweet [C]Augusta, are [G]gone

[G](Now I Sing)
[D]Oh how I loved you Au[C]gusta my [G]dear
[D]You always knew how a [C]man turned to [G]fear
But you [G]gave me your [C]warmth and you [G]shed me a [Em]tear
How I [G]loved you [C]Augusta my [G]dear. [D]

[G]Oh how we [C]danced on the [G]sidewalk
As [G]you boldly [C]clapped out a [G]song
[G] c [G] [Em]
And the boys and I knew that your smiles were true
And that [G]always would [C]make me feel [G]strong [D]
For [G]when I was [C]young and [G]unknowing
Au[G]gusta would [C]keep out an [G]eye
And when[G]e’er [C]a girl would leav[G]e me broke[D]n hearted
She would [G]comfort me [C]when I would [G]cry

‘caus[D]e you were the strong one wh[C]o kept me i[G]n line
When [D]I had a problem you [C]always had the [G]time
And [G]I would say [C]nothing, is [G]that such a [Em]crime?
How I [G]loved that sweet [C]lady of [G]mine. [D]

‘cause wh[G]ene’er [C]you felt filled w[G]ith sorrow
She’[G]d bring you [C]a scotch or [G]a beer
And she’[G]d listen wit[C]h eyes full o[G]f wisdom an[Em]d hope
And she’[G]d alway[C]s lend you bot[G]h ears.

[G](now we sing)
[D]Oh how I love you [C]Augusta my [G]dear
[D]You always knew how a [C]man turned to [G]fear
But you [G]gave me your [C]warmth and you [G]shed me a [Em]tear
How I [G]love you…
Au[C]gusta…
My [G]dear… [D] [G]
