The Sweetest Thing
Carlene Carter
Album: I Fell In Love

Capo 1
Intro: D-A-E-A

A                 D      A
In the stillness of the dawn 
             D        E
Our love is dead and gone 
        A             D          A           E
The sunrise warms my heart with memories of you 
           D       A     E          A
It's the sweetest thing     remembering 

A            D            A
There's a picture in the hall 
           D             E
That I'm leaving on the wall 
           A            D                A            E
There's a look in your eyes that always made me fall apart 
           D       A    E          A
It's the sweetest thing    remembering 

A        D
When I close my eyes to cry 
         A
I can't help but feel a smile 
          D
'Cause I think of you and I forget 
    E
It hurt to say goodbye 

          A                Dm
But after all we've been through 
     F#m        Bm-B
It's amazing to me 
      D        A      E         A
The sweetest thing's    remembering 
         D        A   E         A
Oh the sweetest thing   remembering 

Instrumental: A-D-A-D-E-A-D-A-E-D-A-E-A
(Note: Same Cord Progression as the first verse)

A          D
We wanted love to last forever 
              A
And the good Lord knows we tried 
              D
But when the rain came pouring down 
          E
There was no place left to hide 

          A                Dm
But after all we've been through 
     F#m        Bm-B
It's amazing to me 
      D        A      E         A
The sweetest thing's    remembering 
         D        A   E         A
Oh the sweetest thing   remembering 
          D        A    E        A
It's the sweetest thing   remembering
