She Walked Beside The Wagon

G C G D

[Verse 1]
G                                 Cadd9            G
She felt the cold and dreary wind chill her to the bone
G                         D
Through the Oklahoma dust before there was a road
Em            D               G      D      Cadd9
Determination on her face and achin' in her feet
C                      G               D         G
With all hope gone she still walked on into history

[Chorus]
G             Cadd9   G    Cadd9
She walked beside the wa - gon
        G    D   C       D
And she held her head up high
       G      D  C       G    Cadd9
If she walked beside the wa - gon
D                G
So can I. So can I

[Verse 2]
G                            Cadd9         G
Mama tells the story how she watched it on T.V.
G                              D
Jackie John and Caroline and a nation on its knees.
Em               D                    G     D       Cadd9
Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black.
C             G               D               G
Jackie walked beside him, no, he's not coming back.

[Chorus]
G             Cadd9   G    Cadd9
She walked beside the wa - gon
        G    D   C       D
And she held her head up high
       G      D  C       G    Cadd9
If she walked beside the wa - gon
D                G
So can I. So can I

Jesse s calling from the street "Oh Mommy, please come see"

A Radio Flyer fire red "Mommy please pull me"
Fm                D#              G#       D#   C#
I've been workin' over time for a day just like today
C#               G#          D#            G#
Making sure that Jesse knows he can always say

[Chorus]
G#            C#      G#   C#
She walked beside the wa - gon
        G#   D#  C#      D#
And she held her head up high
       G#     D# C#      G#   C#
If she walked beside the wa - gon
D#               G#
So can I. So can I

So can I. So can I
