[A] [D]
[A] [D]
Mildred [D] Madeline Johnson, born [G] in the autumn of [Em] [A] 1960.
[D] A shy [A] pretty girl from [D] East Texas, religious [G] and restless,
humble [Em] and kind as a person [D] could be.
[A]
[D]
She loved to sing in the choir, loud and [G] inspired,
her head [Em] tilted down keeping [A]
time,
[D] or tell stories [A] with friends [Bm] after supper,
[D]
ignoring [G] the hour, a calico [Em] cat fast [E]
asleep at [D] her side.
And [G] she loved [D] to drive [A] her big [Bm] red car,
[G] though she couldn't [D] see over [E] the hood [A] very far.
[D] She'd back out the driveway, point [Gb] that thing down [Bm] the road,
[A]
[Abm] we'd [E] say, Lord, there [A] she goes.
[D] Her hair was silver and messy, she walked [G] in a hurry,
worried [Em] about wasting [E] the day.
[D] Some [A] night she sat [Bm] at her dresser, [D]
composing [G] long letters,
falling [Em] asleep with a pen in [D] her hand.
And [G] she loved to drive her [A] big red [Bm] car,
[G] a scarf round [D] her shoulders, [E] her foot to [A] the floor,
[D] down to the grocery.
[Em] [D] She'd wave [Gb] goodbye and [Bm] we'd pray, [A]
[Abm]
[E] Lord, bring her [A] back safe.

thing down the road,

Lord, there she [A] goes.

[D] Mildred Madeline Johnson, marvelous [G] woman,
