Gillian Welch - I Had A Real Good Mother And Father Chords

[Intro]
C/G  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                 F          C/G
I had a real good mother and father
                          G
And they surely stood the test
                          C/G
And now they're in bright glory
         D       D/C    D/B  D/A   G
And are sleeping on the savior's breast
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                F          C/G
They set a good example for me
                          G
And they taught me how to pray
               C/G
Now I truly converted
    D       D/C    D/B  D/A  G
And walking on the narrow   way
 
 
[Instrumental]
G  F  C/G  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                             F       C/G
I know that if I can not meet them on high
                       G
Then how lonely I will be
                    C/G
For what good is my journey
   D      D/C     D/B  D/A  G
If I miss out on eternity

[Verse 4]
G                 F          C/G
I had a real good mother and father
                          G
And they surely stood the test
                          C/G
And now they're in bright glory
         D       D/C    D/B  D/A   G
And are sleeping on the savior's breast
