     D         E        A 
No I would not give you false hope 
        D           E        A 
On this strange and mournful day 
        D          E       A F#m 
But the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a motion away
[Versetto]
              F#m 
Oh oh, little darling of mine 
                E 
I can't for the life of me 
           F#m 
Remember a sadder day 
                E 
I know they say let it be 
                       F#m 
But it just don't work out that way 
                    D 
And the course of a lifetime runs 
         E            E7 
Over and over again
[Ritornello]
     D         E        A 
No I would not give you false hope 
        D           E        A 
On this strange and mournful day 
        D          E       A F#m 
But the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a motion away
[Versetto]
            F#m 
Oh oh, little darling of mine 
               E 
I just can't believe it’s so 
                F#m 
Though it seems strange to say 
               E 
I never been laid so low 
             F#m 
In such a mysterious way 
                    D 
And the course of a lifetime runs 
         E              E7 
Over and over again
[Ritornello]
      D         E        A 
But I would not give you false hope 
        D           E        A 
On this strange and mournful day 
         D          E       A F#m 
When the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a motion away
[Outro]
       D          E       A 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away 
       D          E       A F#m 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a moment away, hey, hey, hey  
       D          E       A 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away 
       D          E       A F#m 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a moment away, oh oh  
       D          E       A 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away 
       D          E       A F#m 
Oh the mother and child reunion 
   Bm     A       E 
Is only a moment away, away, away, away
