Stanley Brothers - Mothers Only Sleeping Chords

[Intro]
A D G D
 
[Verse 1]
D                                  A
I left my old home way back in the mountains
                                        D
Since mother and father had both passed away
                                 A
We followed our mother up to the graveyard
                                     D   G  D
For mother was called to heaven that day
 
[Chorus]
D                                  A
Mothers not dead she's only a sleeping
                                    D
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
                                          A
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
                                       D    G  D
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away

[Verse 2]
D                                  A
Oh how we miss her around the old home place
                                             D
Everything seems so lonesome since shes gone away
D                                  A
Mother is sleeping way back the mountains
                                       D    G  D
Yes mother is sleeping way back in the hills
 
[Chorus]
D                                  A
Mothers not dead she's only a sleeping
                                    D
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
D                                         A
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
                                       D
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away
