Dixie Chicks - Aunt matties quilt

Aunt Mattie bent a ^Cthousand ^Gtimes, ^Amdown the long black ^Drows Then ^Gbattled with the ^Cangry ^Gweeds, so ^Amlittle ^Cseeds could ^Dgrow Come ^Bmsummer, Mattie ^Cpulled the snow from ^Gcruel and cutting ^Cbolls She was ^Gpatient pale and ^Cslender and was ^Amonly eight years ^Dold

^GRound 'n round the ^Cspinning ^Gwheel, be^Amneath Aunt Mattie's ^Dboot She re^Gcalled the soil and ^Ccotton ^Gseeds and ^Amsummer's ^Chopeful ^Dshoots Two ^Bmwinters spun out ^Csummer's threads, in ^Grich and creamy ^Cfolds And she ^Ghad a bolt of ^Ccotton cloth when ^Amshe turned ^Dten years ^Gold

^CIf we bend and ^Dplant the seeds and ^Gtame the wicked ^Emweeds If we ^Clet the sun and ^Drain assist and ^Gsimplify our ^Emneeds If we ^Cfollow in the ^Dbarefoot path of ^Emone persistent ^A7girl We'll ^Cthrow a healing ^Dquilt across an ^Cever ^G6ailing ^Gworld

Indigo and ^Claven^Gder made ^Amup Aunt Mattie's ^Dsky Re^Gmembering her ^Cchildhood ^Gdays, she ^Ammade the ^Crustic ^Ddye In the ^Bmhour before the ^Cday would end, it ^Gfed young Mattie's ^Cdream She made ^Gindigo and ^Claven^Gder when ^Amshe turned ^Djust four^Gteen

^CIf we bend and ^Dplant the seeds and ^Gtame the wicked ^Emweeds If we ^Clet the sun and ^Drain assist and ^Gsimplify our ^Emneeds If we ^Cfollow in the ^Dbarefoot path of ^Emone persistent ^A7girl We'll ^Cthrow a healing ^Dquilt across an ^Cever ^G6ailing ^Gworld

Aunt ^GMattie ^Cbends a ^Gthousand times, ^Amdown each patchwork ^Drow And ^Gpiece by piece and ^Cstitch by ^Gstitch, in ^Amfading ^Ccandle ^Dglow The ^Bmvalley of the ^Cshadow cannot ^Gcall her from her ^Cseams Until ^Gfinishing her ^Clifetime's ^Gwork, she ^Amdies at ^Dseven^Gteen

Oh, and ^Cif we bend and ^Dplant the seeds and ^Gtame the wicked ^Emweeds If we ^Clet the sun and ^Drain assist and ^Gsimplify our ^Emneeds If we ^Cfollow in the ^Dbarefoot path of ^Emone persistent ^A7girl We'll ^Cthrow a healing ^Dquilt across an ^Cever ^G6ailing ^Gworld
