Hattie and Mattie Chords by Holly Near

[F#m] _ _ [D] _ [E] _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _
[F#m] Hattie and Maddie [E] live [F#m] downstairs from me
[Bm] _ [E] _
[F#m] Same [Bm] apartment [E] since [A] 1943
[E] They've [D] got embroidered pictures [E] on the [C#] wall
With quotes that [F#] no one said
[B] And [C#m] an autographed [Dm] picture of [D#m] Jesus [E] Christ
Above their double bed
[A] Well, they're [F#] two old [Bm] ladies [E] that can't [F#m] be denied
[Bm] _ [E]
[F#m] Their matching aprons [E] hide a [A] [G] wilder side
[A] And they [D] will tell you about [E] Paris
[C#] Over [E] countless cups [F#] of tea
[B] And maybe [F#m] you [D] will get [B] the clue
[E] But first it eluded me
[D#] That they're [D] the founding mothers of the revolution
[C#m] Of mating with a blatant [F#] disregard for evolution
[D] _ _ [E] [G#] Lesbians extraordinaire
[E] Years before [F#] they cut their hair
[Bm] Four stories over [E] all the pushing and the shoving
[C#m] Hattie [E] and Maddie [F#] got some brownies in the oven
[D] Sitting and knitting and loving [C#m] their whole [A] life through
_ [D] _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ [E] [F#m] Hattie [G#] and Maddie met through Gertrude [F#m] Stein
_ [G#] _ [F#m] One summer day [D] at a [G#] déjeuner [A] divine
[D#] _ [A] [G#] Hattie said, [D] I'm fond of la [G#] joconde
And [C#] her strange [E] and sexy [F#] style
[B] So Maddie [F#m] said, well, [Dm] [B] Leonardo's dead
But [E] I know I've made her smile
[F#m] Now Hattie and [Bm] Maddie bake [E] for the [A] neighborhood
_ [Bm] _ [E] [F#m] For years they've been spreading [B] love in [E] any way [A] they could
Cause it's [D] a special [E] recipe
That [C#] they got [E] from [F#] Alice B
So [B] I should [F#m] have known [Dm] when I heard [B] the groans
[E] But it took [E] me years to see
That they're [G#] the founding mothers of the revolution
[E] Of mating with a blatant [F#] disregard for evolution [D] Lesbians [E] [D] extraordinaire
[E] Years before [F#] they cut their hair
