You are such a treasure with your story telling, Lori. I find the words and notes always hit a chord within me that bring tears but also a sense of contentment. Thank you for sharing your immense talent and humanity with us.

Only 10k subs on the channel? This lady deserves a truckload more of recognition... Best singer-songwritter of the past decade

The kids are in their Christmas clothes Clip on ties, we're driving to church Where I'll watch the old women sing along Praising the good Lord for his good work Mother Mary's holding out her arms I wish I could rush into them Underneath her solemn look there's a smile Now that it's Christmas time again All the faith that I've been given I'll admit some of it's been lost on me But there isn't one ungrateful bone in my body I've said goodbye to some good friends That I still miss every day And I don't know why it's made to end I guess it has to be that way There's been blessings and crooked roads I've made mistakes that I regret But I've held dreams in my own hands Too big to dream in my own head And all the love that I've been given Wish I could return tenfold at least Cause there isn't one ungrateful bone in my body Maybe in some other life, I passed some kind of test Maybe that's how it's all justified, how lucky someone gets So, in this life that I've been given Hope I get close to who I'm supposed to be Cause, there isn't one ungrateful bone in my body There isn't one ungrateful bone in my body

You never cease to amaze me Lori! The bridge about maybe there was something you did in the past life that made you lucky in this one! Wow! You have developed your songwriting skills and they are a thing of magic and beauty! Thank you for sharing with us all!

[@foreveraftergirl]

Beautiful, what are the lyrics,??

[@nextgalaxyoverinvestments6508]

Does anyone know the guitar tabs for this, would love to cover it

[@stanleyracquet7284]

As with a lot of her tunes, Lori plays this in DADGAD. Ignoring the capo, it’s in the key of D and these chord shapes, with a couple variations, will get you started: D 000200, G 550000, A 002200, Bm x42200
