Carrie Newcomer – Threads chords

[Intro]

G  C   D  Em   G  Em   D

 

[Verse]

       G             C       D          G

I have hands like my grandma, rough and wide

                   C              D

Got a smile like my father, kinda crooked at one side

        C             G     D                 Em

And the thread of our union pulls through the years

            C             G                    D

Through the burdens and rejoicing, through the courage and the fear

 

[Chorus]

             C             G                D             Em

Let the wind blow like the horses running wild across the sky

        C               G                D             Em

Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by

            C            G          D       Em

We have all followed the fabric wherever it led

C              G        D      C

[Verse]

        G         C          D             G

We were mean mama lions with babies on our hips

                        C                D

Two were workin' at the grocery, one was livin' on tips

           C              G                  D                   Em

A-two fell sick and one recovered, a-three divorced and one went clean

    C                 G                 D

One lost a child last April, one's still chasin' a dream

 

[Chorus]

             C             G                D             Em

Let the wind blow like the horses running wild across the sky

        C               G                D             Em

Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by

            C            G          D       Em

We have all followed the fabric wherever it led

[Chorus]

             C             G                D             Em

Let the wind blow like the horses running wild across the sky

        C               G                D             Em

Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by

            C            G          D       Em

[Verse]

     G            C          D                 G

If I live to be a hundred, I won't forget your eyes

                    C    D

Or the feel of your body lying next to mine

       C              G        D                Em

No one loves you like I do, no one knows you so well

          C             G                      D

All the days that still haunt you and all the secrets you won't tell

 

[Chorus]

             C             G                D             Em

Let the wind blow like the horses running wild across the sky

        C               G                D             Em

Let the doors close and open, or pull us in or pass us by

            C            G          D       Em

We have all followed the fabric wherever it led
