      G5   
She shuffles her feet
           C5      G5
In that kitchen retreat
G5
Victorian respite
        D5
Irish streets of gold
         G5
Far removed from her sod
                  C5                  G5
Where they ran from an angry god
G5
Then settled into
D5                      Caad9 D5   G5
Triple Stacked apartment row

          E5
Yes the husband came next
      C5
Then young children test
     G5                         D5
No doubt she cared so well
         E5
Fed an army of six
          C5
With Ol Harr in the mix

      D5
The patience of a saint

   G5
A virtuous woman
           C5          G5
Bearer of the family flame
G5            D5
Elizabeth, Elizabeth

We honor your name

Told it was to that Harry
           C5  G5
She had up and wed
G5                    
But we never got to know him
G5              D5
'Cause the bottle struck him dead
G5
Informed he carried that curse
       C5     G5
So of us would know
G5                                D5
So she waved goodbye to Hartland
            C5   D5      G5
Off to Romsey she'd go

            E5
Then the kids they have kids
       C5
Once again testing wits
       G5               D5
She took it in her stride
     E5       
Up until her last days
        C5
Steadfast in her ways
     D5
Inspiring to me

G5
A virtuous woman
           C5          G5
Bearer of the family flame
G5            D5
