_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I was talking to a lady [A] _ [D] a few _ [A] days ago _
In this other [F#] world, [E] she said
_ _ _ If you [A] see _ my child somewhere
_ [D] As you journey _ [A] here and there
I'm [F#] waiting _ for [E] my child [G] _ [A] to come home
_ Yeah _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [A] Maybe _ _ somewhere _ _ [D] in a [A] lonely jail
_ _ [F#] No _ one [G] there to go [A] his place
_ Lord have mercy _ _ _
_ Then a child could be somewhere
_ _ [D] On his [A] sick bed
_ _ [F#] No wonder [E] _
[G] he's aching [A] _ here _ _
_ I'm waiting, _ yes I'm waiting
[A] For [D] my child, [A] my child to come
_ _ I'm waiting, _ yes I'm waiting
[E] My child, _ come _ [A] if you can
_ Come on, _ [D] please _ send [A] me a letter
You know a [F#] letter helps [E] me
_ _ [A] So much [Bm] to [A] me
_ _ _ You know, have some _ _ tenderhearted mothers _ _
They would do anything for their child _ _ _
Doesn't matter what he's done
There might be some child out there today
Your mother don't know where you are _
She's worried about you
Go home
_ She's waiting and watching for you
The light is [D] burning
_ And this is what she would say _ _
_ [A] _ _ If I _ only knew
What [D] time my child [A] was in
_ _ I would be there
_ On the [E] _ morning [E] train
_ [A] No matter _ what the crime
[D] I'm waiting, oh you know
This [A] child of mine
That's why I'm [F#] waiting
_ For my child [C] to [A] come home _ _ _
_ _ I'm waiting, yes I'm waiting
_ _ My [D] child, how did it [A] come
_ I'm waiting, _ oh yes I'm waiting
_ [E] My [G] child, _ [E]
come if you [A] can
_ Come on, _ _ please send me a letter _
[A] A letter, _ so _ [G] _
_ [A] much to _ me _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.
