Oh mother, I can feel the soil [Em] falling over my [Am]
[A] head
[C] [G] Under [C] the climbing to an empty bed
Oh [E] well, [A] enough said
[E] [A] [F] [G]
I know it's [F] over, still [G] I claim
I [F] don't know where else I can go
Oh [F] [G] mother, [F]
[C] I can feel the soil falling over my [A] head
See the [Em] sea wants to [C] take me
The knife wants to slit me
[A] Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled [C] bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her [A] room
Loud, [C] loutish lover, treat her kindly
Though she needs you more [B] than [Em] [E] she loves [A] you
[G] And I know it's [F] over, still I claim
I don't know where else I can go
Oh mother, [F]
I [G] [F] know [C] it's over
[F] And it never really [G] began
But in my [F] heart it was [A] so real
[F]
And you [G] even spoke to me and said
[C] You're so funny
And why [B] are you on your [Am] own tonight?
And [G] [C] if you're so clever
Then [Em] why are you [Am] on your own tonight?
[F] If you're [C] so very entertaining
Then why [G] are you on your [Am]
own tonight?
[F] If you're [C] so very good looking
Why [G] do you [Em] sleep alone [Am] tonight?
[F] I know, [C] because tonight is just like any other night
That's [G] why you're on [Am] your own tonight
[F] [C] And your trials and your charms
[G] Are [Am] all there in each other's eyes
So [C] beautiful, so [G] easy to hate
[C] It takes strength to be [G] gentle and kind
[D] Over, over, over, over, [G] over
[C] It's so easy to laugh, so [F] easy to hate
[G] It takes good to be [C] gentle and [G] kind
[A] Over, [F] [G] over
[C] Love is natural and [F] real
[G] [F] But [G] not [Em] for you, my love
[C] Not tonight, my [G] love
[C] Love is natural [F] and real
[G] [F] But [G] not for [Am] such as you, [F] my [G] [C] love
Oh, mother, [F] [G] [F] [G] [Em]
[C] [G] [C]
[F] I can feel [G] the soil [F] falling [G] over [A] my [F] head
[G] [C] Oh, mother, [F] I can feel [G] the soil falling
Over, [Em]
[C] [G] over, [C]
over, [F] over, over
I can feel [G] the soil [F] falling [G] over [Am]
[F] [G] [C] my head
Oh, mother, [F] [G] [F] [G] [Em]
[C] [G] [C]
[F] I can feel [G] the soil [C] falling
[G] Over, [A]
[G] [F] [C] over, [F] over, over, over
[G] The soil falling
[C] [Em] [C] [G]
[F] [Em] [F] [Em]
