Grace And Pride

G Water lapping 'round my knees Golden sand beneath my feet C G Would mean a lot to me There's very little you can say To make those feelings go away C 'Til you take me Em D There's nothing more that I prefer G C To see the boys and the girls Em D Step it out with grace and pride G C G As honesty flows by their side I cannot run from times hard pressed To become embittered, dispossessed C G Just like some do And maybe some place I can find Where wheel and heart become entwined C Like I hope to Em D And nothing matters more to you G C To sit and sing a song that's true Em D The first one there and last to leave G C Sweet memories for you to keep Em D G C Em D G C G No easy lesson for me to learn C G Just close those eyes of mock concern And halt your rush to be sincere There's more in life for you to fear Em D There's nothing more that I prefer G C To see the boys and the girls Em D Step it out with grace and pride G B7 As honesty flows by their side Em D And nothing matters more to you G C To sit and sing a song that's true Em D The first one there and last to leave G C Sweet memories for you to keep
