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

From the album "Soul Journey"

Capo 1

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

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

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

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