Three Wooden Crosses Acordes

[Intro]
C   C/B   Am   Am7/G
 
[Verse 1]
C                     C/B   Am                    Am7/G
A farmer and a teacher,   a hooker and a preacher
F                        C             G
ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
        C                  C/B       Am               Am7/G
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
    F                G                  C
and two of them were searchin' for lost souls
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
     Dm                         G
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
    Dm                                G    Gsus4
and eighteen-wheelers can't stop on a dime.
 
[Chorus]
          C            C/B
There are three wooden crosses,
       Am                Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F                             C           G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
              C            C/B
I guess it's, not what you take
         Am                Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you
     F                G                 C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Verse 2]
C                         C/B   Am                    Am7/G
That farmer left a harvest,   a home and eighty acres
    F
the faith and love for growin' things
C                 G
in his young sons heart
         C                      C/B
And that teacher left her wisdom
       Am                        Am7/G
in the minds of lots of children
        F               G            C
Did her best to give'em all a better start
 
[Pre-chorus]
         Dm
And that preacher whispered,
                    G
"Can't you see that promised land?"
               Dm
as he laid his blood-stained bible
                G    Gsus4
in that hookers hand
 
[Chorus]
          C            C/B
There are three wooden crosses
       Am                Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F                             C           G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
             C             C/B
I guess it's, not what you take
         Am                Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you
     F                G                 C
it's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Bridge]
           Am             G                  F
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday,
      C
as he held that blood-stained bible up
    G            Gsus4
for all of us to see
                   Am                Am7/G
He said, bless the farmer, and the teacher,
         F
and that preacher
    F         Dm                     G          Gsus4
Who gave this Bible to my Momma, Who read it to me
 
[Chorus]
          C            C/B
There are three wooden crosses
       Am                Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F                            C               G
why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
C                 C/B
It's not what you take,
         Am                Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you,
     F                G                 C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Outro]
          C            C/B
There are three wooden crosses
       Am         Am7/G  C
on the right side of the highway
