My Life Iris DeMent
by Iris Dement
Capo on 3rd Fret
[G]My l[Bm]ife, it don'[C]t count for nothi[G]ng.
[G]When [Bm]I look at this [C]world, I feel so [G]small.
[G]My l[Bm]ife, it's on[C]ly a seas[G]on:
[G]A passing [Bm]September t[C]hat no one will [G]recall.
[G]But I g[Bm]ave joy t[C]o my mot[G]her.
[G]And I m[Bm]ade my lo[C]ver smil[D]e.
[G]And I can give [Bm]comfort to my f[C]riends when [C/B]they're hu[G]rting.
[G]And I c[Bm]an make it seem [C]better for a wh[G]ile.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/iris_dement/my_life_crd.html )
[G]My li[Bm]fe, it's [C]half the way trav[G]elled,
[G]And stil[Bm]l I have not found my[C] way out of this [G]night.
[G]An' my l[Bm]ife, it's t[C]angled in w[G]ishes,
[G]And so m[Bm]any things that just [C]never turned out [G]right.
[G]But I g[Bm]ave joy t[C]o my mot[G]her.
[G]And I m[Bm]ade my lo[C]ver smil[D]e.
[G]And I can give [Bm]comfort to my f[C]riends when [C/B]they're hu[G]rting.
[G]And I c[Bm]an make it seem b[C]etter [G]
[G]I can m[Bm]ake it seem b[C]etter,[G]
[G]I can m[Bm]ake it seem b[C]etter for a w[G]hile.
[G]Oh, o[C]h 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!
