Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Chords you need to know: (all open chords apart from )

 Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

 And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said

 I know it's over, still I cling, I don't know where else I can go

Over and over.....

Cheers and enjoy!

 Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

 See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me

Do you think you can help me

Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room

Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you

 More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling

 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

 And she even spoke to me and said

 "If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?"

 "And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?"

 "And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?"

 "And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?"

I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're on

 your own tonight

 With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms

It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle

 and kind - over and over....

 It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and

kind - over and over....

 Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my love

 Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love

 Oh mother... etc.

  etc.
