D5 on intro: 
 
D5 
Long black limousine 
D5 
Shiniest car I've ever seen 
    G5 
The back seat is nice and clean 
    D5 
She rides as quiet as a dream 
A5                           G5           D5   
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground 
  A5                         G5              D5 
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down 
      A5                          G5            D5  
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud 
        G5                           A5  
With me riding in this car, and you flying through them clouds 

Refr?o -------------
G5                            D5 
I've had some time to think about it 
    G5                          D5 
And watch the stone set like a stone 
G5                            B5 
I've had some time to think about you 
       A5         D5 
On the long ride home
--------------------
One day I took your tiny hand 

Put your finger in the wedding band 

Your daddy gave a piece of land 

We laid ourselves the best of plans 

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed 

Forty years of things you say you'd never said 

How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead 

I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red 
 
Chorus 
G5                             D5  
Headlights searchin? down the driveway 
    G5                       A5 
The house is dark as it can be 
G5                         B5 
I go inside and all is silent 
            A5 
It seems as empty as the inside of me 
 
Chorus
