MY MOTHER, THE MOUNTAIN
As recorded by Claire Anne Taylor
(From the 2016 Album ELEMENTAL)
[Intro]
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
D
When I found her, she was lying in a field of forget-me-nots
D
Beneath a sky of apple trees
G A
I watched her chest rise and fall with every heavy breath
D
Of grief
[Verse 2]
D
She told me her mother loved her laughter
D
And she only had time for honesty
G
I said there's a lot of her in you
D
And there always will be
A
Let the wind
D A
Carry her voice to you while she sings
D
Ooh, she sings
Singin
[Chorus]
G D
When I die
G D
I'll live on in your smile
G D
And for years after
G D
I'll be right there in your laughter
[Verse 3]
D
The sky was crying when she found me
D
In the rain watching rivers run away
G
I said I'm not strong enough to lose you
A D
And you're getting weaker every day
[Verse 4]
D
My mother is a mountain
D
I need her like the air that I breathe
G
If there's a bit of her in me
D
I will rest easy
A
Let the wind
D
Carry her voice to you
A
While she sings
D
While she sings
[Chorus]
G D
When I die
G D
I'll live on in your smile
D
And for years after
D
I'll be right there in your laughter
G D
When I die
G D
I'll live on in your smile
D
And for years after
D
I'll be right there in your laughter
[Outro]
