I Knew This Day Would Come Chords & Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

[VERSE 1]
He'd just turned [D]forty-seven when she was only twenty-[G]two
She'd turned his life to [A]heaven from the hell that he'd been [D]through
All her friends said she was [D]crazy she must have lost her [G]mind
She said age makes no [A]difference and it didn't at the [D]time

[VERSE 2]
Through the years she was his [D]comfort, oh but anyone could [G]see
That he was growing [A]older and she was growing [D]free
She came in late one [D]morning he said hold me one last [G]time
You don't need to say it's [A]over, I've known it all the [D]time

[CHORUS]
I knew this day would [D]come oh but we sure gave love a [G]whirl
Now the age that made no [D]difference makes all the difference in the [A]world
But I can't hold back the [D]seasons, I curse the rising [G]sun
I already know your [D]reasons, for I knew this day would [D]come

[Step Up]
[B]

[VERSE 3]
She said I found a [E]young man he's only half my [A]age
He says age makes no [B]difference, it's the heart that [E]sets the stage
The old man listened [E]quietly then he said "You know, some[A]day,"
"He'll come in late one [B]morning and it'll be your time to [E]say:"

[OUTRO]
"I [E]knew this day would come,[B]
"I knew this day would [E]come"
