Iris DeMent | Concerts from Blue Rock LIVE chords
Jam Along & Learn...
Something's supposed to happen in life.
Something's supposed to kick [Db] in and you know this is what I'm supposed to do.
[Bbm]
That [Ab] singing thing is [Eb] such a gift to me.
[Ab] I get something out of that I don't get from anything [Eb] else [Fm] in the world.
[Ab] Well my mama she was always telling her [Bb] truth
[Db] Times were hard and that's how she made it [Ab]
through
When it came to her feelings
There [F] [Eb] wasn't no back burner on [Eb] that [F] stove
[Ab] Some will, some will go wrong and she'd start [Bb] yelling or crying
[Db] If you didn't know better you'd think that one of us was dying
[Ab]
That was mama and [Eb] she [Ab] just told her truth
[Bb] Go on now [Eb] and say goodbye [Bb] to our town, to [F]
our [Am] town
[Bb]
Can't see [Eb] the sun setting down [Bb] on our town, [F] on our [Bb] town tonight
Music is [Eb] very healing.
It keeps us [Bb] alive.
It keeps us healthy and strong and [F] able to go in the world
and do all the other things we [Gm] need to do.
I've gone [Am]
[Bb] far, [Eb] [Bb] no
[Cm] sorrow [Dm] and [Eb]
desire
[Bb] Could it be [F] that the kingdom has [Eb] already come?
[Cm] [A]
Headed toward the big house till [D] you're head and you have a scratch
[A]
Well I was [E] thinking this love's gonna last
I tried to write a song once with John Prine.
He'd write a line and then I'd run to the bathroom and [D] shut the door
and write a line and come out.
Here's my line.
[A] We're all pretty weird and we just [Abm] have to figure out things the best [A] we can
and get the [Eb] job done.
[Fm] You can [Ab] take your streets and go if you [Db] really want them
[Ab] [C] And your mansion's [Fm] so dear
[Db] But I'll [Ab] take the whole lot [Fm] of heaven [Db] it's shining
I [Ab] want the whole lot [Fm] of heaven [Db] it's shining
I love [Ab] the whole [Fm] lot of heaven it's [Db] shining
And [Eb] it's a river of [Ab] [Bb] tears
Be [Ab]
[Bbm] careful going home.
Thank you so much.
It's a pleasure to be [N] here and sing for you.
Thank you.
