Casimir Pulaski Day Chords

   
The second tab for this song is correct for one of the guitar parts, but here's a
version with the lyrics. The song sounds OK with just the chords.
I think there are two guitars and maybe a harp, so this is by definition incomplete.

Capo: 1st fret

     D        C                Am   G

D                 C
Goldenrod and the 4H stone, 
    Am
the things I brought you, 
       G                               D  C  Am G
when I found out you had cancer of the bone 

D                        C
Your father cried on the telephone, 
       Am                     G
and he drove his car into the navy yard, 
        D                  C   Am  G
just to prove that he was sorry 

       D                    C
In the morning, through the window shade, 
         Am                            G
when the light pressed up against your shoulder blade, 
        D                           C  Am G
I could see what you were reading.
