[Verse]
Em C G D
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Em C G D
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Em C G D
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Em C G D
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
[Chorus]
Em C G D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Em C G D
Sons are like birds, flying upwards over the mountain
[Verse]
Em C G D
Mother I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison
Em C G D
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Em C G D
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Em C G D
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
[Chorus]
Em C G D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Em C G D
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
[Solo]
Em C G D x4
[Verse]
Em C G D
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Em C G D
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Em C G D
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Em C G D
Blood on the floor and the fleas on their paws and you cried 'til the morning
[Chorus]
Em C G D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Em C G D
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain
[Interlude]
Em C G D x4

Em C G D x8
