A hand little book was [Gm] given to me, [Em] And every page spelt [F]
liberty.
[B]
All [Am]
[Dm] my trials
[G] soon
[C] be over, There is a tree in [Gm] paradise,
And [C] the pilgrims call [Em]
it the [F] tree of life.
[C] All
[Am] my [Dm]
trials, Lord, [G]
soon be [C]
over, But it's too [Bb] late, my friend,
[Cm] Too [C]
late, but [Bb] never mind.
[C]
All [Am] my [Dm] trials
[G] soon
[C] be over, If religion were a thing that [G] money could buy,
[Gm]
[E] Then the [C] rich would [Em]
live and the poor [F] would die.
[Am] All my [Dm] trials [G]
soon be [C]

[Gm] Poor mum, [G]
poor mum, [Cm]
After a lifetime [D] of dreaming,
[Gm] Poor mum,
[G] poor mum, [A] Whatever became of your [D] scheming,
[Gm] Nothing worked out [E] in the way that you [Gm] planned, [Cm]
Nothing was quite [D] as you thought.
Try [F] very hard [Gm] not to misunderstand,
[A] Joy as it flies.

[Gm] Poor mum,
[G] poor mum, [Cm] Where did you take her wrong [D] turning?
[G] Poor mum, poor mum, [A] Pack up that love,
[D]
[G] Pack it away with [C] the books [G] and the toys, [A] Silent [Gm] and dumb,
[A] Silent [D] and mum, [G]
Out and [A] growl,
But you'll never
[D] forget, [Eb]
[D] You were poor
[G]
[Am] [C]
mum.
