G               C
Holy Mother and Aging Father
   G                         D
You paid your dues along the way
Am                         C
You’ve got a heart of Gold why must you both grow old
G            D        Am    C    G        D        G
I’d lose you both one day.   I’d lose you both one day

[Verse]
G                  Em
Holy mother how we used to pray
D                            C               G
You showed the blessings the Lord gives everyday
G              Em              G               Em
You’d come and comfort me when I was scared at night
D                        C                 Em      G
Gonna be a cold world without your burning light

[Chorus]
G               C
Holy Mother and Aging Father
    G                        D
You paid your dues along the way
Am                         C
You’ve got a heart of Gold why must you both grow old
G            D        Am    C    G        D        G
I’d lose you both one day.   I’d lose you both one day

[Verse]
G                   Em
Aging father slowly lost his health
D                             C                G
Don’t seem a rich man but his heart revels his wealth
G            Em               G                Em
He bought me my first guitar taught me how to play
D                              C                Em     G
Its going to break my heart to watch him fade away

[Chorus]
G               C
Holy Mother and Aging Father
   G                         D
You paid your dues along the way
Am                         C
You’ve got a heart of Gold why must you both grow old
G            D        Am    C    G        D        G
I’d lose you both one day.   I’d lose you both one day
