Chords for Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris - The Sweetest Gift

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
I'll end it as talking earlier about the full [F] circle.
This is [C] for us.
This particular song was first heard by us being performed by the Seldom Sing.
We did it.
We stole it, so it was a big one.
_ You can afford it. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
One day mother went to a prison
To [G] see a daring [C] but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did [G] not matter what [C] he had done
She did not grieve but brought a pardon
He [G] brought no silver, [C] no mother's love
It was a hazy love
[F] The _
_ _ [C] sweetest gift [G] a [C] mother's smile _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] She _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ left a smile you can remember
_ She's gone [G] ahead from [C] heartache's creak
Those walls around you could never change her
You [G] were her baby [C] and there would be
She did not grieve but brought a pardon
He [G] brought no silver, no [C] mother's love
It was a hazy love
_ [F] _
_ The [C] sweetest gift [G] a mother's [C] smile
The sweetest gift [G] a _ _ mother's smile
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ Thank you.
