I'm gonna continue right now with a track.
It's taken off my first album
And in fact, this is probably one of the saddest songs [D] that I have recorded to date
[A] It tells the story of [D] a mother
Who [A] didn't have enough money [D] to go out and buy all [A] the things she would have liked [D] for herself
Or her children things that we take for granted
like new clothes
So she used to [G] have to sit up late at night
Long after they'd all gone to bed
Sewing and mending and [D] putting patches on their old clothes and it's called
There won't be any patches
[A]
in heaven
[D]
A memory [A]
often [D] comes to visit
As I lay in my bed [G] late at night
Of mama alone [D] in the kitchen
Mending clothes by a little oil [A] light
[D] She'd sew
[A] Till her fingers [D] were swollen
Till she couldn't keep sleep [G] from her eyes
And daddy would go in [D] to wake her
He'd kiss her [A] and I'd hear [D] him sigh
[A]
There won't be
[A] Any patches
[D] in heaven
You look so pretty with a halo [G] in your hair
And if angels are judged by [D] the deeds they have done
Mom, you'll be the [A] best-dressed
[D] angel there
[A]
[D]
I [A] was the oldest [D] of seven
So I was the first [G] to leave home
My dreams were
debated by [D] my mama
All the pretties that she
[A] never knows
But [D] the first
[A] pretty dress
[D] That I gave her
She smiled and [F#] then [G] bowed her head
She said honey
The kids need [D] these things
More than I do
And the tears
[A] in my eyes
[D] As I said
[A]
There [D] won't be [A] Any patches [D] in heaven
You look so pretty
with a halo
[G] in your hair
And if angels are judged
[D] by the deeds
they have done
Mom, you'll be
the [A] best-dressed
[D] angel there
[B] Mom, you'll be
the [A] best-dressed
angel
[E]
[D] there

Well I suppose if you're like me
you probably all have got a soft spot
for the particular place
where you come from
And just as we were driving up this morning
up to Dundee
I was watching out through the windows
of our coach at the beautiful green
fields and you know it really brought
It's taken off my first album
And in fact, this is probably one of the saddest songs [D] that I have recorded to date
