Key: D
Introduction: A7
D G
Last Sunday we got in the car and we drove
A7 D G/B A7
To the town you were raised in, your boyhood home
D G
The trees were just turning, up on the ridge
A7 D G/B A7
And this was your valley when you were a kid
D G
You showed me the railroad that your daddy worked on
A7 D G/B A7
As we neared the old house where your granny lives on
D G
She's nearing ninety years now, with her daughters by her side
A7 D Bm7
Who tend the places in the heart where loneliness can hide
Bm7 A9 G A7 D
Raised by the women who are stronger than you know
Bm7 A9 Em7 A7
A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn
D G
The threads were stitched by family hands, protected from the moth
Em7 G A7 D G/B A7
By your mother... and her mother, the weavers of your cloth
