Tom : G
INTRO: Am D C G
C G Am D
Aunt Mattie bent a thousand times, down the long black rows
G C G Am C D
Then battled with the angry weeds, so little seeds could grow
Bm C G C
Come summer, Mattie pulled the snow from cruel and cutting bolls
G C Am D
She was patient pale and slender and was only eight years old
G C G Am D
Round 'n round the spinning wheel, beneath Aunt Mattie's boot
G C G Am C D
She recalled the soil and cotton seeds and summer's hopeful shoots
Bm C G C
Two winters spun out summer's threads, in rich and creamy folds
G C Am D G
And she had a bolt of cotton cloth when she turned ten years old
[Refrão]
CHORUS:
C D G Em
If we bend and plant the seeds and tame the wicked weeds
C D G Em
If we let the sun and rain assist and simplify our needs
C D Em A7
If we follow in the barefoot path of one persistent girl
C D C G6 G
We'll throw a healing quilt across an ever ailing world
[Próxima Parte]
C G Am D
Indigo and lavender made up Aunt Mattie's sky
G C G Am C D
Remembering her childhood days, she made the rustic dye
Bm C G C
In the hour before the day would end, it fed young Mattie's dream
G C G Am D G
She made indigo and lavender when she turned just fourteen
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
INSTRUMENTAL; (same as Verse)
G C G Am D
Aunt Mattie bends a thousand times, down each patchwork row
G C G Am C D
And piece by piece and stitch by stitch, in fading candle glow
Bm C G C
The valley of the shadow cannot call her from her seams
G C G Am D G
Until finishing her lifetime's work, she dies at seventeen
CHORUS:
C D G Em
Oh, and if we bend and plant the seeds and tame the wicked weeds
C D G Em
If we let the sun and rain assist and simplify our needs
C D Em A7
If we follow in the barefoot path of one persistent girl
C D C G6 G
We'll throw a healing quilt across an ever ailing world
