[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ She's weaving [F] him a pillow [Bb] full [Eb] of dreams _
_ Soft _ [F] _ _ _
winter wool and [Bb] summer _ flea
_ _ _ With the colors [F] of the berries _ [Cm] that grow
among the [Eb] hill
_ [F] _ _ strands of cloudy gray
_ [Eb] And deep blue [Bb] indigo
_ And _ _ _
[Eb] she sits beside the open door [Bb] in the evening sun _ _ _
[Gm] combs the carded wool
[Eb] _ in her [Cm] lap
long hair all [F] _ [Eb] undone
_ [F] Talking _ [Bb] _ _ _
to the one she [Cm] loves as she weaves the henspun yarn
_ [F] Like a web around her there
_ [Eb] Keep her safe [Bb] from harm. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] She dances in his heart
[Bb] like a feather
_ So _ _
_ [Gm] _ find the [Eb] threads that bind the souls [F] together
[Eb] _ _ [F] She's _
_ [Bb] _ _ weaving him a pillow [Eb] for his head _ _ _ _
_ [F] Sometimes the strongest _ love [Eb] hangs by such a slender [Bb] thread
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[A] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ He always loved to sing those country [Eb] songs _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] About his mountain home and [Cm] love [Gm] gone [Eb] [Bb] wrong _ _ _ _
_ that one
About an old friend [Eb] riding with a highway sign
[F] But his favorites were the one
[Eb] He could play between [Bb] the lines
_ _ _ _ [Eb] He would sit on her porch
_ [Bb] _ Evening line _ _ _ [Gm] with his guitar in his [Eb] _ hand
[Gm] _ [Cm] _
Singing [F] to the _ [Eb] _ night
[F] _ _
_ [Bb] Weaving _ pictures in her [Cm] mind
with every single word
_ [F] The songs he wrote for her
_ [Eb] Were the only ones she [Bb] heard _
She _ _ _ [Gm] _ had his drifters heart on a [Bb] tether
So _ _ _ [Gm] _ find the [Eb] threads that bound these [F] souls [Eb] together
_ [F] She _ _ [Bb] _ loved to hear him sing that's what [Eb] she said
_ _ _ _ [F] Sometimes _ the strongest love hangs [Eb] by such a [Bb] slender thread _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ See him [F] lying _ there with broken [Eb] _ bones
And _ _
_ [F] a _ [Cm] child
Smile on a [Bb] man full grown
if _ _ _
[F] _ [A] _ [Bb] he'd gone
Just another inch
By [Eb] now, he would be dead
at [F] _ times a life can hang
_ [Eb] by such a [Bb] slender thread
_ He _ _ [Eb] can only thank you star
for [Bb] another day
_ _ _ [Gm] And then he has [Eb] to choose
[Cm] To live [F] another [Eb] way
_ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] He can't ask her how this [Cm] time
She's already said
_ [F] That fine line that you walk
[Eb] Is _ just a slender [Bb] thread _
_ She _ _ [Gm] _ _
knows his heart can be as [Bb] tough as leather
So _ _ _ [Gm] _ strong the [Eb] threads that bind these [F] souls [Cm] together
_ [F] Still _ _ [Bb] _ _
he counts the scars [Eb] inside his head
_ _ _ _ [Cm] [F] Sometimes the strongest [Cm] love hangs [Eb] by such a [Bb] slender thread
_ _ She's _ [Eb] _
[F] _ [Bb] _ weaving [F] him a pillow [Eb] for his head _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
