Shed Say

Am                         G               F                              C
You never got to meet your grandma did ya? Every night, I got you kissin' on her picture
Am                       G                   F                         C
Cuts me up that you will never listen to the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
Am                       G                      F                       C
I could tell you she was quite the mixture of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
Am              G                           F                             C
Truth is, she's right there in you, She's a part of you, you don't have a choice


[Pre-Chorus]
                  Am        G                          F          C
My dear, you will feel her      In your mind, you will hear her
                 Am        G            n.c.
And if she could use words,   use words


[Chorus]
          F        G              Am
She'd say, "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
          F        G             Am
She'd say, "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
          F         G                Am                      C
She'd say, "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Am       C      Am       C     Dm       F
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
n.c.
That's what she'd say


[Post-Chorus]
Am       G        F        C
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo, That's what she'd say
Am       G        F
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo


[Verse 2]
Am                                           G
She said, "Take care of your sisters, I mean the whole world
F                             C
Spend your days tryna lift up other girls
              Am                        G
You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls
        F                               n.c.
I'll be with you every step of the way, ayy
      Am                         G
Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out
F                                  C
Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts
         Am                        G
Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
     F
Just when you think the dark's here to stay"


[Pre-Chorus]
                  Am        G                          F          C
My dear, you will feel her      In your mind, you will hear her
                 Am        G            n.c.
And if she could use words,   use words


[Chorus]
          F        G              Am
She'd say, "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
          F        G             Am
She'd say, "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
          F         G                Am                      C
She'd say, "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Am       C      Am       C     Dm       F
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
n.c.
That's what she'd say


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo, That's what she'd say
Am       G        F
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo


[Bridge]
                           C                             Am
She'd say, "Listen to your daddy, In his voice, you will hear me
               F               C
I know he will sing my song to you
                  C                        Am
And know that I'm happy, and you'll always have me
             F              C
I'm watching everything you do"


[Chorus]
          F        G              Am
She'd say, "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"

She'd say, "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"

Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
n.c.
That's what she'd say
