    FOREVER EVERYDAY  Lee Ann Womack

Intro chords: G# C#  G# C# 

G#                              C#
I knew this kid, his name was Michael
Fm         D#             G#
   He was only four years old
G#                            C#
We sat on a rock and started talkin'
Fm                 D#              G#
   And he told me things I didn't know
G#                           C#
He said yesterday he was an Indian
Fm             D#               G#
   And how he played with buffal-o
G#                              C#
Well I got a sense that he had been there
Fm                 D#          G#
   And he made me really wanna go


CHORUS:
          C#
Remember waitin' all year for December
                 G#
Thought God was cryin' when it rained
              Fm              D#
And that the stars were fire-flies
             C#               G#
Dreams were real and biG#as life
             D#        G#   G# C#  G# C# 
It was forev-er every-day



G#                   C#
I was tuckin' in my little girl
Fm              D#                  C#
   She held my hand and we said a prayer
          G#                       C#
I prayed Bless Grandma with the angels
               Fm              D#          C#
And she said  Hey Mom she's standin' over there
G#                                    C#
Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it
Fm                   D#             C#
   Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise
G#                      C#
What if Heaven's all a-round us
Fm           D#                       C#
   But only seen through children's eyes

To chorus, to interlude
INTERLUDE:
 C#                  G#            C#
They say when you're old you're a child again
    C#              G#        D#  Bbm7 D#
But do we have to wait 'till then--en--en 
To chorus, chorus, to ending
ENDING:
G# C#  G#    C#  G#                                C#
     Forever         I knew this kid, his name was Michael
