My Life
by Iris Dement
Capo on 3rd Fret
G Bm C G
My life, it don't count for nothing.
G Bm C G
When I look at this world, I feel so small.
G Bm C G
My life, it's only a season:
G Bm C G
A passing September that no one will recall.
G Bm C G
But I gave joy to my mother.
G Bm C D
And I made my lover smile.
G Bm C C/B G
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
G Bm C G
And I can make it seem better for a while.
G Bm C G
My life, it's half the way travelled,
G Bm C G
And still I have not found my way out of this night.
G Bm C G
An' my life, it's tangled in wishes,
G Bm C G
And so many things that just never turned out right.
G Bm C G
But I gave joy to my mother.
G Bm C D
And I made my lover smile.
G Bm C C/B G
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
G Bm C G
And I can make it seem better
G Bm C G
I can make it seem better,
G Bm C G
I can make it seem better for a while.
G C
Oh, oh oh.
G
Oh oh.

This is a great song for guitar, but she performs it on
the piano. Someone with a better ear may want to review
these chords because I probably made some mistakes along
the way. Have fun!
