Mary Black - Golden Thread


Intro:
G    C  G    C

Verse 1:
                D              G
I looked into a mirror made of lines
     C            D                 C                G
With tiny symbols here and there to make the image mine
  D               Am          D                 Am
A woman stood and painted and showed me what to find
    C                    D                 G                   C  G
The different parts, the fire, the air and where my life would climb
    C               G          C                 D    D7
And where it joins another and what would always bind

Chorus:
       G                                    C
It's a golden thread to hold you all of my days
G                                     C
Hold my head against you, now and for always
G                                 C
Sewn me up, shown us a long, long time
          D  G
Makes you my life
C         D  G
Makes you my life

Verse 2:
    C             D                G
The moving finger writes and goes away
    C              D                    C               G
I'm weighed upon a balance here and I'm told that I can stay
    D                 Am               D             Am
The kettle heats, the water speaks up, says I'm not alone
   C               D            G             C  G
My whole life is a tapestry and hanging in my home__
    C              G         C                D    D7
And here it joins another by what will always bind

Chorus:
       G                                    C
It's a golden thread to hold you all of my days
G                                     C
Hold my head against you, now and for always
G                                 C
Sewn me up, shown us a long, long time
          D  G
Makes you my life
C         D  G
Makes you my life

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
                          D           G
And when you looked, your angel flew away
    C                  D                 C            G
And what it meant was, your protection's gone another day
    D                Am             D                   Am
And what has come to change you and have you, come what may
   C               D             G              C  G
Is fashioned by an old triangle, green as April haze__
C              G           C               D    D7
Blue is just a colour, but blue is here to stay

Chorus:
       G                                    C
It's a golden thread to hold you all of my days
G                                     C
Hold my head against you, now and for always
G                                 C
Sewn me up, shown us a long, long time
          D  G
Makes you my life

                                            C
It's a golden thread to hold you all of my days
G                                     C
Hold my head against you, now and for always
G                                 C
Sewn me up, shown us a long, long time
          D  G
