[2bbuckwlw]

I love Patty!

[silvermountaincreek]

Does anyone know where I can find the studio version? It's not on iTunes anymore :/

[FRANCECHILD]

JESUS SO BLESSED HER. AMEN

[hannahpdx1]

What album is this from!?

[davestul]

@hannahpdx1 It's from a CD called "Children Running Through". A very good CD!

[woodscritter]

@davestul Sorry, but this song is NOT on "Children Running Through," at least not on the version I have.

Patty's DVD is the first place I've found it.

You might like Emmylou Harris' version on "All I Intended to Be." It's special.

Thanks again to Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains for introducing some of us to Patty on one of the Chieftains' "Plank Road" albums.

I kinda knew of Patty, but never really looked into her music. Caught her on Austin City Limits show on PBS last night and OMG! Why didn't I know of her sooner? Am now getting all her stuff. AMAZING!! :D

I love Patty so much, even when songs like this break my heart....

[jeffroyo]

3/22/81 if you see this and by chance these blue diamonds are yours please contact me @ jeffroyo@hotmail.com. There isn't a day that goes by I don't think about my birth mom Patricia. God knows I pray, to find my Patricia one day!

[mnewland]

Drank all I could swallow........

[paulamcmath]

What a brilliant artist! One of my favorites.

[davidmarie]

i think i have 1000 of the views on this song! this woman can bring a grown man to tears

[lyriclover810]

Such a sad, heartwrenching song...but so amazing...and performed by the greatest artist in the world.

[padubis]

Masterful songwriting about a cold, dead end road - love the internal rhyming and, of course, the performance.

[sptfgpn]

Her hair looks nice too.

[harrycharles1944]

On this song Patty has gotten back to her core. I love it.

[woodscritter]

@harrycharles1944 Not sure I could identify Patty's "core" so I won't try.

Everything she does is special; that's enough.

Emmylou Harris has recorded a gorgeous version of this too.

[kj8pxg]

saddest song, so beautiful, so poignant.

[kj8pxg]

[neicybee]

Just when I think I have my favorite Patty song, she pulls one of these out..the 1st couple of times I heard it, I cried because it was so beautiful...this woman has more talent in her little self than I have ever seen in anyone else!! Love ya Patty!

[doogleandalix]

I hope this is on the new album - it is so beautiful !

[woodscritter]

This is from dvd "Live From The Artist's Den" recorded 2/07 in NYC- highly recommended. Don't think it's on existing cd; Patty says her new cd is gospel-oriented.

Also, Emmylou Harris (Patty's friend & advocate) has a gorgeous version of this on her latest, "All I Intended To Be."

[doogleandalix]

Thanks for that info - I'll have to check out that DVD alrhough I would prefer a CD version.

[watson8escape]

You can buy a recorded version of this on iTunes- it was a bonus track on her 2007 album, Children Running Through. You have to buy the whole album, though- it's Album Only.

[pmcdfry]

Beautiful. Where is she playing this??? And does anyone have the chords for this song?

[gcbfolk]

yeah, great is'nt it...

Open D Tuning: DADGBD Capo: 5

It may be easier to use std. tuning with e.g. capo 4 and a C chord.

[melpsu81]

looks like the artist den from a year or two ago which was the tour she had when CRT came out.

[gdiddi]

thanks for posting, great song, beautiful voice... Cant believe she doesnt get the recognition she deserves, but maybe thats a good thing, might of destroyed her.
