Deliah’s Pew

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar arpeggios, faint fiddle hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – steady guitar strum, soft shaker rhythm] I wear a collar and a worn-out pair of boots Spend my Sundays talkin’ ‘bout the truth But when the service ends and the doors swing wide There’s one love waiting by my side [Chorus – upbeat fiddle lift, foot-stomping rhythm] Deliah’s got a coat like a summer sunset glow Curly tail a-waggin’ everywhere we go She’s my quiet joy when the world feels loud My orange cockapoo, my favorite crowd [Verse 2 – acoustic guitar with subtle bass line, warm harmonica hint] She sits right up front in her wicker chair Never misses a word, like she really cares She’ll nudge my hand when I’m speakin’ too long Steal a cracker from the communion song [Chorus – layered vocals, brighter fiddle melody] Deliah’s got a coat like a summer sunset glow Curly tail a-waggin’ everywhere we go She’s my quiet joy when the world feels loud My orange cockapoo, my favorite crowd [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocal harmonies] They say a man of the cloth should walk alone But God gave me a friend with a heart of stone? No, A heart of gold that beats so true Deliah, I’m so glad I found you [Chorus – full band, foot-stomping energy, fiddle solo weave] Deliah’s got a coat like a summer sunset glow Curly tail a-waggin’ everywhere we go She’s my quiet joy when the world feels loud My orange cockapoo, my favorite crowd [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft fiddle trill] We’ll walk the churchyard when the day is done My Deliah, my sun
