Cowboy Junkies - Musical key

Bm G F# Bm My mother sang the sweetest melody G A Bm F# although she never sang in a musical key. G A I would hear her through the house. G F# My name called out loud. Bm G F# Bm My mother sang the sweetest melody. G F# Bm My mother's hands were always cool and soft. G A Bm F# And like her eyes, they would caress with every touch. G A She would listen to my chatter G F# as if every word I spoke mattered. Bm G F# Bm She'd hold me close and whisper in my ear. A Bm She'd say, "girl, you are a part of me A Bm and I have made you strong. A Bm when you grow up and are on your own G F# Bm remem- ber to win them with your song." Bm G F# Bm My father sang in perfect harmony. G A Bm F# And though he never sang in a musical key G A You could hear him when he'd enter the house G F# the kiss he'd give my Ma. Bm G F# Bm My father sang in perfect harmony. G F# Bm My father's words were always sure and clear G A Bm F# and like his presence they would rid me of my fears. G A And when I crawled up on his knees G F# I was safe as I could be. Bm G F# Bm He'd hold me tight and whisper in my ear. A Bm He'd say, "girl, you are a part of me A Bm and I have made you strong A Bm when you grow up and are on your own G F# Bm remem- ber to win them with your song." Bm G F# Bm My mother sang the sweetest melody, G F# Bm although she never sang in a musical key.
