“Mourning Song”
By Shovels & Rope
‘Little Seeds’


Verse 1:

C majorC                            FF
She walked into the kitchen where most mornings would begin
    C majorC                            A minorAm
Put her hands down on the counter, streched her fingers long and thin
     C majorC                       FF
Drug her eyes across the wall to where he hung his mandolin
    C majorC                  A minorAm
And she whispered out the count like she was whispering it to him

Chorus:

     C majorC FF A minorAm G+G      C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
Mourning song,     mourning song
     FF      C majorC     G+G        A minorAm
You were always on my mind, even though I am now gone
 FF           C majorC          G+G         C majorC
I taught you these four chords so you could sing your mounring song


Verse 2:

C majorC                           FF
He was not much of a singer, there was shrapnel in his sound
    C majorC                          A minorAm
Always ready with a zinger that could burn the whole place down
  C majorC                     FF
The love was undefineable, no beginning and no end
    C majorC          A minorAm
Like so many ancient secrets blowing in the wind


Chorus:

     C majorC FF A minorAm G+G      C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
Mourning song,     mourning song
     FF      C majorC     G+G        A minorAm
You were always on my mind, even though I am now gone
 FF           C majorC          G+G         C majorC
I taught you these four chords so you could sing your mounring song

Bridge:

FF     C majorC  G+G   FF     C majorC G+G
The walls tumbling, gates are opening
FF   C majorC   G+G    A minorAm   G+G    C majorC
Sorrow in the window, sorrow will not win


Verse 3:

C majorC                           FF
From the morning through the evening of each and every day
C majorC                        A minorAm
Wildness to wisom, from the gold on through the grey
     C majorC                           FF
From the songs of newborn babies to those who failed along the way
    C majorC                            A minorAm
I have loved you and I will find you, now please sing me on my way


Chorus/Outro:

          C majorC FF A minorAm G+G      C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
With your mourning song,    mourning song
    FF     C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
Pardon me if I’m sentimental, you were always strong
  FF       C majorC       G+G         C majorC
