Musical Key

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