C       G            Em      D          C 
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done 
                             G 
The nurse's saw an old woman crying 
    Em                  D 
But he saw the love of his life 
    C 
She don't know where she is 
        Bm               C      Bm 
But she knows this isn't home 
          D          G 
Love is a hard, hard road 


C                            G   
He met her in the summer of '37 
     Em           D           C 
In a brush arbour down on the Rush Creek shore 
                                G 
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile 
       Em                D 
But she won him with her eyes 
        C 
All the years and children grown 
   Bm                 C      Bm 
He still sees her the same 
          D          G      C  D 
Love is a hard, hard road 


   C                        G   
He woke up each morning and drove into town 
   Em         D            C 
He stayed all day 'til her dinner came 
                                     G                                Em 
Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker 
                            D 
He covered her with a quilt that she'd made 
     C 
Only Love and a couple of nurses 
           Bm                   C      Bm 
Helped the old man shoulder the load 
          D          G     
Love is a hard, hard road

            C 
And he said, "They tell me this is all that's left 
                                D/F# 
Say, this hell on earth is best 
                 G                              D/F#     C 
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it" 
                   G             C 
He cursed his body old and weak 
                 G 
Tears of failure burned his cheek 
            D/F#            G                Em              C       Bm 
And he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day" 
          D          G     
Love is a hard, hard road 


          C                           G   
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death 
         Em              D         C 
When you fear the reaper might not come today 
                              G                   Em 
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom 
                        D 
The TV keeps the quiet away 
    C 
She can't recall his name 
              Bm             C      Bm 
And she's the only love he's known 
          D          G       Bm 
Love is a hard, hard road 
          D         G          Bm 
Love is a hard, hard road
