"She Doesn't Mourn Anymore" by The Spinney Brothers chords
Start Jamming...
[N] One story that happened a little [A#] over a year ago.
We were traveling actually in [C]
Ontario here, northern Ontario, and we came across a bad snowstorm.
And we had to get off the highway as quick as we [D#] could.
There were no hotels around.
We found this old farmhouse down a long lane.
So we [C] drove down there and when knock, knock on the door, a beautiful woman [Fm] came to the door.
My goodness, huge order.
And [E] I said, listen, is there any chance you could put us up for the night until the storm is gone?
And in the [C] morning she said, well, I'm sorry, I'm [Am] recently widowed and I'm afraid what [A#] my neighbors would think
if I invite [Bm] four handsome gentlemen [C] like yourselves into my home for the night.
Well, I said, what about the barn?
Could we sleep in the barn?
[F] We'll be gone first light.
She said, I guess that would probably be all right.
[A#] So daylight came and [D] we pulled on out of there.
I [C] never really thought much more about it.
Nine months later, I get a letter in the [G#] mail.
It's from her attorney.
So I call the boys together.
I say, guys, we [F] need to have a discussion here.
[F#] I started over here [F] with Terry.
I said, listen, Terry, [D] remember that lady's barn we [A#] slept in there nine months [Cm] ago?
I said, you didn't have to sneak out of [A] the barn and into that [C] lady's house.
And you said, no, [B] I [D] was going to [C] ask my brother the [F] same thing.
He's my [D] mentor in life.
He's the guy, [G#] he's the footstep that I [A#] follow in.
And I was hoping [F] I'd get the same [D#] answer.
I said, Alan, please tell me you [C] did not sneak out of the barn into that [G#] lady's house nine months ago.
And you said,
[F#] no, not this time.
[C] Now, [F] listen, I'm running out of options, though.
So I know in my own [C] mind what's coming next.
I said, Gary, [E] the lady's place that we stayed in there, [A] the barn, nine months [A#] ago,
did you sneak out of the barn and into [G] that lady's house?
[A] [E] And I said, listen, you didn't happen [F] to use my name instead of [A] using your own name, did you?
And your reply was, [C] yes.
[F#] Well, [A] he started to get really [B] worried.
He said, what seems to be [C] the problem?
And I said, well, I got a letter from her attorney.
[A#] And she passed away and left everything [F] to me.
[D#]
[E] [D] [Bm]
[G] [G#]
[B] [A#]
[B]
[F] [B]
Folks, [D]
we'd like to do a song for you now [B]
that's very dear to our hearts.
If you've seen our [C] show before, you've probably heard us speak of our grandmother.
She was with us for a long, long time.
We recently lost her.
It would be [F#] on December the 6th.
[C] She was 30 days short of her [F] 102nd birthday.
[C]
She had a great [A#] life.
At [F] least the first 100 years were.
[A#]
Not bad, I guess.
[Cm] And so anyway, she [Am] became bedridden a couple of weeks after her 100th birthday with Alzheimer's [F#] dementia.
She really went downhill, and of [G#] course, sad to see that happen with somebody that was so sharp and so well-minded all through the years.
[A] And so, as I say, at first we were really [C]
hurt to see that, sad.
[D#] But as time went on, we began to see it, or I did [F] anyway, in a different light.
And that was that she didn't mourn anymore.
She [A] thought her mom and daddy were still living and all [A#] of her sisters.
[A] She was actually in a very good frame of mind for the [F] most part.
So that inspired [G] a song to be written for
[A#] anyone who didn't know anyone or have any family [G]
[E] [B] members.
It's called, She Doesn't Mourn Anymore.
[E]
[B]
[E]
Between the [B] hearts of our grandma and [F#] grandpa
[E] Was a flame that never would [B] burn out
That bond would have a [Bm] hold [F#] on our family
Through them both we learned what love was [B] all about
You never saw one without [F#] the other
[E] Till the day that he passed [B]
away
After 60 years of loving [F#] one another
She [E]
cried for [F#] grandpa nearly every [B]
day
Now [F#]
she doesn't mourn [E] for him anymore
[B] In her mind he still walks through [F#]
the door
Though his memories move on [E] she's forgotten he's gone
[C#m] So [B]
she [F#] doesn't mourn [E]
anymore
[C#m] No [B] she [F#] doesn't [E] mourn anymore
[F#] Though [Bm] she only sees [B] the four walls of [F#] her bed
That [E]
100 grandma still keeps holding [B] on
But her weary mind is all [F#] but forgot
[E] That over 20 [F#] long years have come and [B] gone
[F#] Now she doesn't mourn for [E] him anymore
[B] In her mind he still walks through [F#] the door
Though his memories move on [E] she's forgotten he's gone
[B] So she [F#] doesn't mourn [E]
anymore
No [B] she [F#] doesn't mourn
[E] anymore
[F#] [B]
[F#]
[E]
[B]
[F#] [E]
[F#] [B]
Each passing day her eyes become [F#] more distant
She [E] no longer bears the heartache and [B] the pain
Now the only tears that grandma [F#] will be crying
Are [E] the tears of [F#] joy the day they [B] meet again
[F#] Now she doesn't mourn [E] for him anymore
[B] In her mind he still walks through [F#] the door
Though his memories move on [E] she's forgotten he's gone
[B] So she [F#] doesn't [E] mourn anymore
[B] No grandma [F#] doesn't [E] mourn anymore
[B]
