A E A E  2x

[Verse 1}

           A
If I could only hear
   E            A    E
My mother sing again
           A
If I could close my eyes
    Asus4              E
And hear your voice as then

E                   A
All the friends and family
      D               E
Would sing along with me
    D               E
And set your spirit free

[Verse 2]

A             E              A    E
In my heart I hear you sing again
A             Asus4      E
Every note as natural as then
    D                 E
and when I sing those songs
     D          E
With family and friends
    D             E        E7    A     E
and in my heart I hear you sing again

[Verse 3]

           A
I know the troubled times
     E                   A    E
That turned your hair to gray
            A
And all the tears and sorrows
Asus4            E
Followed to your grave
             D               E
But deep within the heart of hunger
           D          E
There were always melodies
D           E7     E
Passed from you to me

[Verse 4]

A             E              A    E
In my heart I hear you sing again
A             Asus4      E
Every note as natural as then
D                 E
When I sing those songs
    D          E
For family and friends
    D             E         E7     A
and in my heart I hear your voice again

[Chorus]

           G     D    A
And it's a long, long road I've come
         G        D          A
Since my mother's songs were heard
        G     D A
But the child I can't outrun
      G        D     A
Still hangs on every word

[Verse 5]

A             E              A    E
In my heart I hear you sing again
A             Asus4      E
Every note as natural as then
D                 E
When I sing those songs
     D          E
With family and friends
    D             E        E7    A    E7
and in my heart I hear you sing again
    D             E         E7     A
and in my heart I hear your voice again . . .
