I Had A Real Good Mother And Father chords by Gillian Welch

Chords with lyrics

From the album "Soul Journey"

Capo 1

 G+G          FF     C majorC
I had a real good mother and father
              G+G
and they surely stood the test
              C majorC
and now they're in bright glory
      G+G    C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
and are sleeping on the saviour's breast

          FF     C majorC
They set a good example for me
              G+G
and they taught me how to pray
         C majorC
now I truly converted
     G+G   C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
and walking on the narrow way

                FF   C majorC
I know that if I cannot meet them on high
             G+G
then how lonely I will be
             C majorC
for what good is my journey
     G+G  C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
if I miss out on eternity

           FF      C majorC
I had a real good mother and father
              G+G
and they surely stood the test
              C majorC
and now they're in bright glory
     G+G   C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
and sleeping on the saviour's breast
