Waiting On June Acoustic chords

Capo 7- G

She was from [G]North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge
I fell in love in a week or two it d[C]idn?t take long to love a girl like [G]that

We were barely ten in the cotton fields playing horseshoe with the colored kids
I t[C]ried to kiss her she grabbed a baseball b[G]at


Waiting on Ju[Cadd9]ne, I hope she comes to see me
Waiting on Ju[G]ne, I can?t take this feeling
Waiting on Ju[Cadd9]ne, I pray to God she?ll love me one of these d[Em]ays
I hope I fi[D]nd my way waiting on J[G]une

I went off in 4[G]2? to fight those boys and pay my dues
Her w[C]allet picture kept my spirits hi[G]gh

Charley Boy died in my arms, he saw Jesus I saw blood
It s[C]oaked her wallet picture that cold [G]night


I t[D]old my best friend Charley I would k[Cadd9]iss his girl good[G]bye
He made me pr[D]omise I?d go home and make [Cadd9]Miss June my wi[G]fe
Shaking like a dr[D]unk old fool I ho[Cadd9]pped off of that pl[G]ane
And I r[Em]an home to a[D]sk her in the[Cadd9] rain

Waiting on[Cadd9] June, I hope that she says yes
Waiting on Ju[G]ne, in her faded summer dress
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une, her daddy shook my hand
A[Em]nd she lit up the moment I pulled [D]out that silver band
Waiting on Ju[G]ne

Well we m[G]arried at the methodist church
Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt with p[C]ecan trees to build our homestead [G]on

Jolynn Becky then Donna then Shelby, our tiny house was a sanctuary
[C]Laughter filled those rooms all day lo[G]ng


Waiting on [Cadd9]June, she?s putting on her makeup
Waiting on Ju[G]ne, she?s trying to get her hair curled
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une, kids listen to me
You w[Em]alk on down to Sunday school I?ll[D] be there in 15
Waiting on J[G]une

The tim[G]e flew by like they said it would

The kids grew fast and the farm did good
Mrs. Be[Cadd9]rtha made our supper eve[G]ryday

At noon that silver bell would ring
We?d all say grace and dig on in we al[Cadd9]ways ate together in those [G]days


Oh o[D]ne by one those kids went off and f[Cadd9]ound a love their [G]own
There?s no[D]thing like the joy I knew when they [Cadd9]brought their babies h[G]ome
We?d play [D]all day in the cotton fields with the d[Cadd9]ogs I raised up rig[G]ht
And [Em]end in grandma?s kit[D]chen every ni[Cadd9]ght

Cadd
Waiting on June, honey don?t burn the bacon
Waiting on J[G]une, our bellies are a? achin
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une, she turns that fork so slow
A[Em]nd we all had to sit there til the last bi[D]te was no more
Waiting on J[G]une

We were slo[G]wer than we used to be the nursing home told June and me
That we?d have [Cadd9]separate rooms side by s[G]ide
[D] cadd9 [G]
Oh what I?d give for one more night of sleeping with my wife
Since 4[D]5? I?ve touched her skin in the m[Cadd9]iddle of the ni[G]ght
I?m ly[D]ing in this single bed until t[Cadd9]hey cut the ligh[G]ts
That?s[Em] when she?ll sneak i[D]n and I?ll be [Cadd9]fine

Waiting on Ju[Cadd9]ne so we can kiss goodnight
Waiting on J[G]une I?ll hold her hand so tight
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une I?ll love her til? I die
It?s bitter[D]sweet when love grows old and you [Cadd9]really miss your wife
Waiting on J[G]une

Well they bu[G]ried me last Tuesday morn

The good lord came and he took me home
I cl[Cadd9]osed my eyes and quickly went aw[G]ay
But the a[Em]ngels let me s[D]ee her ever[Cadd9]yday
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une, our mansion is so grand
Waiting on J[G]une, footprints in the sand
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une, that?s the story of my life
[Em]Me and Jesus are standing here til? s[D]he walks through that light
Waiting on J[Cadd9]une
