Iris DeMent
Album : Workin' on a World
    [Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
     G             C
Your mama's tender hands
                        Dm
Held the needle and the thread
                          G
That stitched that pretty bonnet
                           C      G
You used to wear upon your head
            C
Nobody ever dreamed
                                  Dm
That in one groundless stretch of time
                  F    G
Sorrow would move in
                   C     G
And make the final bind
 
[Verse 2]
                   C
The light atop the stairs
                    Dm
Was flickering then gone
                    G
No one was there to walk you
                       C     G
From the dark into the dawn
                         C
You were so vivid and so fair
                  Dm
So fragile yet so bold
             F      G
With so much story
                   C
That never will be told
 
[Chorus]
              F
I can see you there
                Em
I can hear your song
       F                 Em
Like a kid looking for a place
     Dm     G
To belong
             C                    Dm
And this old world so magical and sweet
            F      G
Knocked the ground
                               C     G
Right out from underneath your feet
 
[Instrumental]
C     Dm
F  G  C
 
[Chorus]
                F
Slipping on the pearls
               Em
Falling to the floor
                   F               Em
Could you hear the bells of Sunday morning
                    Dm    G
Coming through your door
 
[Verse 3]
            C
Simple as a breath
                  Dm
Shifting like the sky
                  F      G
You don't have to worry
                C
I won't ask you why
                  Dm       G
You don't have to worry no more
                C  G  C  G  C
I won't ask you why
