[Intro]
      G                                       Em 
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
          G                                 Em 
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
             C             D         C                         D 
I know it's over, still I cling, I don't know where else I can go
C                          D 
Over and over.....
[Estrofe]
      G                                        Em      C  D 
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
         G                                                Em 
See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me
  
Do you think you can help me
C     D     G                                                   Em 
Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
C     D        G 
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
 Em                     C  D                C               D 
More than she loves you   - and I know it's over - still I cling
   C                           D             C       D 
I don't know where else I can go - over and over.....

I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
                      D      C  D 
And she even spoke to me and said
[Estrofe]
 G                                             Em           C  D 
"If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?"
 G                                                Em            C  D 
"And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?"
 G                                                            Em         C  D 
"And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?"
 G                                                           Em 
"And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?"
C  D           G 
I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're on
      Em 
your own tonight
[Estrofe]
           G                                Em                           C 
With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms
D                C                     D               C 
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle
      D             C          D 
and kind - over and over....
                 G                     C              D 
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and
Em              C        D 
kind - over and over....

        G            C  D              Bm               C          D 
Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my love
        G            C  D       C       D       Em     C     D 
Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love
    G          C     D      Bm   C    D 
Oh mother... etc.
