Music In My Mothers House

G C There were wind chimes in the window. Bells inside the clock. G Em D An organ in the corner and tunes in the music box. G Em C We sang while we were cooking or working in the yard. G D C G We sang because our lives were really hard. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D There was music all around. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D C G And my heart’s still full with the sound. G C She taught us all piano but my sister had the ear. G Em D She could play the melody for any song she’d hear. G Em C I don’t claim much talent but I’ve always loved to play G D C G and I guess I will until my dying day. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D There was music all around. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D C G And my heart’s still full with the sound. G C Those days come back so clearly although I’m far away. G Em D She gave me the kind of gift I love to give away. G Em C And when my mother died and she’d sung her last song. G D C G We sat in the living room singing all night long. C G Singing la la la la D Singing the front porch songs. G Singing the old torch songs. C G La la. La La D C G Singing the hymns to send her home. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D There was music all around. G C G There was music in my mother’s house. D C G And my heart’s still full with the sound.
