Shine on me
G
She shuffles her feet
Cadd9G
In that kitchen retreat
G
Victorian respite
D
Irish streets of gold
G
Far removed from her sod
Cadd9G
Where they ran from an angry god
G
Then settled into
D Caad9 DG
Triple Stacked apartment row
Em
Yes the husband came next
C
Then young children test
GD
No doubt she cared so well
Em
Fed an army of six
C
With Ol Harr in the mix
D
The patience of a saint
GA virtuous woman
Cadd9G
Bearer of the family flame
GD
Elizabeth, Elizabeth

We honor your name

G
Told it was to that Harry
Cadd9G
She had up and wed
G
But we never got to know him
GD
'Cause the bottle struck him dead
G
Informed he carried that curse
Cadd9G
So of us would know
GD
So she waved goodbye to Hartland
Cadd9DG
Off to Romsey she'd go
Em
Then the kids they have kids
C
Once again testing wits
GD
She took it in her stride
Em
Up until her last days
C
Steadfast in her ways
D
Inspiring to me
GA virtuous woman
Cadd9G
Bearer of the family flame

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
