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
