Verse 1:      
  6  5    6    5   -6  6    6     5     6    5  6  5   -6   6    6    5 -4  5   -5
See the tree, how big its grown, but friend it hasn’t been too long, it wasn’t big.
-5   -5   -4  -5  -4  6   -5  -5   -4   -5   -4  -5   -4  6   -5  5  –4   4  -4  5
I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted it was just a twig.  
  6   5    6     5   -6   6   6   5   6   5   6    5   -6  6 -5  5  5  -4   5   -5
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn’t die.  
 -4   -5 -5  -5  6  -5 5 –4     -5    -4 -5  -4   6   -5  5    -4 -4   4      4  4 4 –4 5
Came runnin’ in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself, and I laughed ‘til I cried.

Verse 2: 
  6   5   6  5    -6   6   6      6   5   6   5  -6  6   6    5  5   -4   5  -5
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so.  
-5 -4   -5   -4   6  -5  5 -4   -5  -4 -5  -4    6   -5  5    -4   4   -4  5
I surprised her with a  puppy, kept me up all Christmas Eve, two years a  go.  
 6   6   5     6   5 -6  6   6    5  6   5   6   5   -6  6   -5     5   -4  5    -5
An’ it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late ‘cause I would know,  
 -4    -5   -5   -5 -5    6    -5  5 -4  -5-4  -5   6   -5  5 -4   4    -4    5
That she’d been sittin’ there and cryin’ over some sad and silly late, late show.

         
Chorus:
  4   4 -4 5   5   -4   -4 -4 -4 4 –4  4 –4 5   4   4    4  -4  5   5   -4  –4 –4 4 –3  4
And Honey I miss you, and I’  m bein’ g oo d, and I’d love to be with you, if only I could.

Verse 3:
  5     6     5   6   5   -6  6   6    5   6  5  6    5   -6  6  6    5   -4   5   -5
She wrecked the car and she was sad, and so afraid that I’d be mad, but what the heck.  
  -4   -5 –4 -5 -4   6  -5 -5   -4    -5   -4   -5  -4  6     -5    5  -4    4   -4   5
 Though I pretended hard to be, guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck.  
5   6    5   6 5 -6  6 6  5     6    5   6  5   -6   5  5  4  4   -4 -4  5  5   -5
I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin’ needlessly in the middle of the day.
 -4 -5  -4 –5  -4  6 –5    -5    -4   -5  -4   -5   -4  6  -5   5    -4   4  -4 5
And it was in the early spring, when flowers bloom and Robins sing, she went away.

Chorus...

Verse :
  5    6   5    6  -5  –6 6    6     5    6   5    6    5   -6 6  6    5  -4  5   -5
 Yes, one day while I wasn't home, while she was there and all alone, the Angels came.  
 -4  -5 –4 –5  -4  6 -5 -5 -4  –5 -4  -5 –4  6  -5   5     -4   4   -4   5
Now all I have is memories of Honey, and I wake up nights and call her name.  
 6   5   6     5  -6 5   5      4    6  5   6    5  -6  5    5     4   -4   5   5 -5
Now my life’s an empty stage, where Honey lived and Honey played, and love grew up.  
-4  -5    -4   -5 -4  6  –5 -5 -4  -5   -4   -5   -4  6 -5 5   -4   4 -4   5
A small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the flowerbed that Honey loved.  
Ending:
  6   6   5    6   5   -6  6    6     5    6    5   6  5   -6   6    6   5 -4 5    -5
And see the tree how big its grown, but friend it hasn’t been too long it wasn’t big.  
 -5 -5   -5   -4  -   -4  6   -5  5   -4   -5   -4  -5   -4   6  -5  5  -4   4  -4  5
And I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig.
