Lydia (ver.2)

     The current song that is out there on cowpie is missing some chords  
so it  doesn't sound right. Here are the correct chords. Without a   
capo.   'Lydia' written by Karen  Poston. 
 
D       G       Bm  A 
Lydie lit a cigarette  today, 
D         G             Bm  A  
Ancient fumbling fingers in her  way 
 A     G        Bm        A       
From a forty  year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of   
G   
gin, 
   m      A         G  
Closed her eyes and let the memories in. 
 
She lives in the old place  all alone, 
Keeps in touch with neighbours by the phone, 
Grows herbs on the  graves of her firstborn and his 
father, 
And the coal trucks never bother  her. 
 
Chorus. 
D  Bm        A            G 
Oh Lydie, let him go. the boy is  gone, 
Bm      A         G           
Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms, 
D  Bm      A          G  
Oh Lydia, your tears are heaven's  rain, 
Bm    A       G   
But she never was the same. 
 
A cotton dress and satin shoes, 
Indian  summer sun, dressed in amber hues, 
Spending time with a coal miner's  son, 
To an old time fiddle tune, 
 
The months went by just like a breeze  that year, 
They wed in June, and by the fall the boy was here,, 
Word come  down from big stone, there's a fire in the 
mine, 
And eleven men they  couldn't find. 
 
Chorus 
 
She watched them pull him from the  hole, 
The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke, 
Lydie twice had  had this dream and twice it had come 
true.  
And when she saw his father's  boots she knew. 
 
Chorus. 
 
Lydie lit a cigarrette today ( repeat  first verse)
