My mother [D] had a brother
[Bbm] _ They [Ebm] say that I was [B] [Ab] born on the day that [Eb] he died
_ [Bb] Someone to cling to, [Bbm] she said
When all the [Ab] noise and the shame came [Ebm] calling _
My [D] mother had a brother
[Bbm] I [Gb] thought I knew them [B] all, I [Ab] thought I knew
[Eb] But she lied
[Bb] I said, show me his [Bbm] face again
[Gb] _ [B] Tell me [Ebm] again why he [Ab] died

[Gb] joy and [B] pain [Ab] _ in [Eb] equal [Ebm] measure
_ [Bb] _ _ [Bbm] Tears in the dirt

[Bbm] In _ [Gb] endless [B] _ _
sky

swear [Bb] now that freedom is [Gb] here

For [Ebm] those of us [Bb] who have nothing to [Bbm] fear
[Gb] You gotta make [B] damn sure that it [Ebm] was worth it
[Bb] I'm there to the bone, I'm just [Bbm] a little torn
[Gb] I'm making [B] so much love, I'm making so much love
I [Ebm] was a prisoner
_ _ [Bb] But he's staying
_ [Gb] Broke into my dreams, upset, [B] who cares
I [Ebm] was a prisoner
_ [Bb] So disgrace me
[Gb] I'm glad to be [B] home
And I don't believe [Ebm]
