C
It was just some boards of rough cut pine
G
And a quilt of patch work cotton
D7
G
Was that big four poster bed
C
G
Two days before the wedding
A7
D7
Till his face got red
G
And Mama brought the feather pillows
C
G
And some handmade bedding
D7
G
In that big four poster bed
C
G
Their love would last forever
A7
D7
Than the simple things they had
G
So they planed there future
C
G
As they laid close together
D7
G
In that big four poster bed
C
It was just some boards of rough cut pine
G
And a quilt of patch work cotton
C
G
A place to lay your body down
A7
D7
A place to rest your head
C
A field of fluffy mountains
G
For a little girl to hide in
D7
G
Was that big four poster bed
C
G
On a winter morning
A7
D7
And the smell of baking bread
G
And running across that coal wood floor
C
G
Jumping there with them
D7
G
In that big four poster bed
C
G
He whispered something soft to mama
A7
D7
The words he said
G
She just smiled through her tears
C
G
And held his hand and nodded
D7
G
In that big four poster bed
C
G
Here I stand a woman
A7
D7
Your sweet words turn my head
G
Darling won’t you tell me first
C
G
This will be forever
D7
G
To that big four poster bed
D7
G
That big four poster bed
