Four Poster Bed chords

[C]It was just some boards of rough cut pine

[C]And a quilt of patch work [G]cotton

[G]A place to lay your body down

Was that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

[G]Daddy built it out of pine

Two [C]days before the [G]wedding

[G]They say the neighbors cheered and hollered

[A7]Till his face got [D7]red

And [G]Mama brought the feather pillows

[C]And some handmade [G]bedding

[G]And they spent their wedding night

In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

[G]That night they swore like that bed

Their [C]love would last [G]forever

[G]And they'd ask no more of life

Than[A7] the simple things they [D7]had

So [G]they planed there future

As [C]they laid close to[G]gether

[G]And later I was born there

In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

It was [C]just some boards of rough cut pine

[C]And a quilt of patch work [G]cotton

A [C]place to lay your [G]body down

A [A7]place to rest your [D7]head

[C]A field of fluffy mountains

[C]For a little girl to [G]hide in

[G]Clouds and chasing rainbows

Was that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

[G]I remember as a child waking up

[C]On a winter [G]morning

[G]With Sound of laughing voices

And [A7]the smell of baking [D7]bread

And [G]running across that coal wood floor

[C]Jumping there with [G]them

[G]And Lord I felt so safe and warm

In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

[G]The day that daddy died

He [C]whispered something soft to [G]mama

[G]To this day she's never told a soul

[A7]The words he [D7]said

She [G]just smiled through her tears

And [C]held his hand and [G]nodded

And my daddy looked so much at rest

In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed


[G]Now time has dried up all the tears

[C]Here I stand a [G]woman

[G]Your arms reach out to touch my soul

Your [A7]sweet words turn my [D7]head

Darling [G]won't you tell me first

[C]This will be [G]forever

[G]Before you lead me up the stairs

To that [D7]big four poster [G]bed

[G]Cause only love has ever touched

That [D7]big four poster [G]bed
