Verse 1
G
She's weaving
C
him a pillow full of dreams
D
G
Soft winter wool and summer fleas
The colors of the berries that
Am
grow among the hills
D
Strands of cloudy gray and
C
G
deep blue indigo
Em
C
And she sits beside the open
G
door in the evening sun
Em
C
Combs the carded wool in her lash,
Am
D
her long hair all undone
G
Talking to the one she loves as
Am
she weaves the henspun yarn.
D
Like a web around her there to
C
G
keep her safe from harm.
Em
G
She dances in his heart like a feather
Em
C
So fine the threads that bind the
D
Am
D
souls together
G
She's weaving him a
C
pillow for his head
D
Sometimes the strongest love hangs by
C
G
C
G
D
C
G
such a slender thread
He always loved to sing those
C
country songs
D
About his mountain home
G
and love gone wrong
That one about an old friend ridin'
Am
with the highway signs
D
But his favorites were the ones he
C
G
could play between the lines
C
He would sit on her porch
G
in the evening light
Em
C
With his guitar in his hands,
Am
D
singing to the night
G
Weaving pictures in her mind,
Am
with every single word
D
But the songs he wrote for her
C
G
were the only ones she heard.
Em
She had his drifter's
G
heart on a tether.
Em
C
So fine the threads that bound
D
Am
D
these souls together.
G
She'd love to hear him sing,
C
that's what she said.

Verse 2
him lyin' there with
C
broken bones
D
G
And a child's smile on a man full grown
D
C
G
If he'd gone just another inch,
Am
by now he would be dead.
D
At times a life can hang by
C
G
such a slender thread.
C
He can only thank his stars
G
for another day
Em
C
And then he has to choose to
Am
D
live another way
G
He can't ask her how,
Am
this time she's already said
D
That fine line that you walk is
C
G
just a slender thread
Em
She knows his heart can
G
be as tough as leather
Em
So strong the threads
C
that bind these souls
D
together
G
But still he counts the scars
C
inside his head
D
Sometimes the strongest love hangs
C

by such a slender thread
