Here's another song for the archive...
This is an old one by Charlie Peacock. It's a beautiful song, with a really
powerful message about God's timing. The chords are kind of repetitive, but
then strum on the chorus. Any questions, please mail me.

Dear Friend
Charlie Peacock
G D Cmaj9
Dear friend, there's a story goin'round says you're gonna be married=
soon
G D
But you've been sayin'that for years,
Cmaj9
and there can be no wedding without a groom
G D Cmaj9
You said he's gone away to make a place for you and Him
G D Cmaj9
Oh you know He's gonna come back, but you just don't know when
G D Cmaj9
Dear friends He is not slow in keeping His promises
G D Cmaj9
As some understand slowness to be
G D Cmaj9
Keep a watch out, don't lose faith, He said He would come for you
G D Cmaj9
He's gonna come for you, you wait and see
G D Cmaj9
Dear friend, people joke, they laugh and they make fun
G D Cmaj9
When you tell 'em all about the groom who's gonna come
G D Cmaj9
He's been gone a long long time, are there any doubts to confess
G D Cmaj9
Do you wonder if you're ever gonna wear that wedding dress
Cmaj9: 030230 (A regular C would be 010230)
I use a standard D, and I form the G with only two fingers
(i.e. 3000x3 muting the A string with the finger that's making the root G)
-- Just my suggestions...
Enjoy, and God Bless
