Intro: G   C G    C G 

                    C              G  
I met you once in a living room in Jackson 
                              C 
Thought of you for six years or more 
    D                        G 
One hour, you were my secret standard 
    A7                                D     C 
One night, you walked back through my door___ 


     G               C            G  
Your lanky frame was not what I remembered 
                              C 
Waking from a long and fitful sleep 
    D                         G     
But after early morning conversation 
  A7                      D      G 
I drove to north Texas in disbelief

     C             G               D      G 
That quaking in my heart was too deep for words 
                   Em              Am     D 
It tremored and it trembled and it ached___ 
   G                          C  
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge 
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G 
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias 

  
             C               G  
Fortunes not made and not discovered 
                            C 
There were mentors, we were protégés 
     D                       G 
From one rite of passage to another 
   A7                                     D     C 
We roughed through the wellsprings of our early days 


    G               C                 G  
And underneath that surface there was something 
                          C 
Only you and I could understand 
  D                          G    ~ Em 
I made my commitment to that long ago 
G                               D    G 
Standing in the hallway down in Dixieland 

 

[Refrão]
         C             G           D      G 
And that quaking in my heart too deep for words 
                  Em              Am     D 
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___ 
   G                          C  
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge 
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G 
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias 

  
                       C                G  
There's one thing that I love more than Austin 
                                  C 
Or curving 'round the Frio on her turquoise streets 
          D                          G 
It's your melancholy dread of Sunday evenings 
     A7                     D      C 
Your shivering body when it sleeps__ 


    G                C             G  
The future's looking stormy here before us 
                                    C 
There are wars, calamities and tribulations 
      D                              G       ~ Em 
We'll hatchet down the windows if we have to 
    G                                 D   G 
And stand the watch together 'til the morning

            C             G           D        G 
'Cause that quaking in my heart's too deep for words 
                  Em              Am     D 
It tremors and it trembles and it aches___ 
   G                          C  
We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge 
    G                              D   G   C  G  D  G 
And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
