 D         D/F#         D/G
Five years old and i'm off to school,
 Asus         A         Dsus2 D
With Grandma right behind.
 D            D/F#           D/G
I near the gate with my little bag,
 Asus      A         Dsus2 D
and then i start to cry.
           G                         D/F#                     
she said "i can't teach you what they learn in school,
 Em     A        Dsus2 D
so go ahead and learn,
   G                        D/F#
I'll see you at home, when the bell rings son"
           Em        A         Dsus2 D
you know, i still dream about her.


My mother worked on the railroads,
she did for 16 years.
that dining car was a testing ground
for plans and dreams and tears.
She said "i carried you in my body,
and i carried you in my arms.
and you rest assured for the rest of you life,
I'll carry you in my heart


Chorus
      F#m          G
These ladies in my life.
 F#m              G
Have taught me so much
 D                    A
Bout how to stand up proud and tall
           G                 Asus A
and how to have a sensitive touch.
F#m           G
From here on after, 
 F#m                   G
Through happiness and strife
 D         D/F#     D/G
I'll have so much owing to 
    Asus     A     D
the Ladies in my life.


I'm walking through my front door
and oh what do i see?
is a beautiful wife with a baby girl
Sitting on her knee.
Those little blue eyes light up like stars
when i walk into the room,
We'll tuck you in bed, my little Girl,
so you can dream about the moon.
