A Mother Never Rests by Lori McKenna
A Mother Never Rests
Tuning: E A D G B E
Lead guitar is no capo, Lori's guitar is capo 2 (G C D C) If you want to play her part, capo & transpose
[Intro]
A D E A
[Verse 1]
A
Well here's what I know
D
Even when she's sleepin'
E A
She's still dreamin' about you
A
That's the way that it goes
D
Even when she's laughin'
E A
Part of her is worryin' 'bout somethin' she didn't do
[Chorus 1]
F#m E A
She only sits for a minute, she's a hummin' bird in the livin' room
F#m E D
She's a silhouette smilin' with the weight of the world on her chest
F#m E D
She'll move a mountain for you by the afternoon
D E A
A mother ne-ever re-ests
[Verse 2]
A
She works in colors
D
It's her and the sun
E A
Wakin' up early, bringin' light to everyone
A
She's countin' on angels
D
And she's hopin' they're there
E A
But just in case, every time she says your name it's like a little prayer
[Chorus 2]
F#m E D
And there's wishin' stars for the hurt and band-aids for how it feels
F#m E D
And the nightlight's on so even the sun gets to set
F#m E D
She's a stubborn believer that time and a clean house is how you heal
D E F#m
So a mother ne-ever re-ests
[Bridge]
D
There ain't a broken bone or a birthday that she'll forget
F#m D
She bit her lip and didn't cry the day your hatchback left
A D
And when you hurt she hurts, that's how it is
D E
That's how it is, I guess
[Outro]
A
Here's what I know
D
Even when I'm sleepin'
E A
I'm still dreamin' all about you
