Chords for The Spinners - Sadie - Live 1976 - Mothers

_ _ _ We'd like to dedicate this next number to all of the children in the world who may or
may not have had the opportunity to meet someone as sweet and safe.
[A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _
[D] In a world like today, it's a rare occasion to be able to find young mothers like the
ones that [A] were around when I grew up.
[F#m]
They live [A] on in memory to quite a few of [C#] us.
_ [F#m] _
This song is dedicated [D] to those who cherish [A] that _ [Bm] sweet _ [E] _ _ _ [D] memory.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ There [E] was one song that [F#m] I remember.
_ _ _ [A]
Breakfast [E] was on [F#m] the table. _ _
_ _ [A] There [C#m] was no time [B] to eat.
_ She [Bm] said to me, _ pour her into [A] _ [E] Sunday school.
[A] With _ [E] a lot [F#m] of glory, _ _
_ _ [A] we [E] learned the whole [F#m]
story.
_ _ _ _ [A] She'll [C#m] always [B] have her dream, _ despite [Bm] the pain.
_ This [D] troubled [E] world can break, won't you help me [D] sing.
Sweet Sagan, _ _ [C#m]
don't you [Em] know we love [A] you.
[D] Sweet Sagan, _ _ [C#m] _ don't [Em] wanna love you.
[D] Sweet Sagan, [A] well, [E] well, well.
_ _ [F#m] _
_ [Bm] Sometimes you seem so [A] blind.
No money [D] will turn your [F#m] mind around.
_ [A] _ _ _ [E]
Sweeter than cotton [F#m] candy.
_ _ _ [A] _
[E] Stronger than poplar.
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [C#m] Always that _ [B] needed smile.
_ Once [Bm] in a while, she would [D] break [E] down and cry. _ _ _
[A] Sometimes [E] she'd [F#m] be so happy. _ _
_ _ [A] Being [E] with _ [F#m] us and daddy.
_ _ _ _ [A] Standing [C#m] the words [B] of time.
Breaking [Bm] the bind with [D] just a [E] simple song.
Whoa, [D] _ _ said it, baby.
[C#m] _
_ [Em] Still loving [A] us all [D] in your special way.
Well, [C#m] well, well.
_ [Em] _ [A] Sweet [D] _ _ [A] Sagan, [E] living in the [F#m] past.
_ _ [Bm] _ She'd [A] never said [D] she loved [E] you [F#m] long back [E] when it was.
[D] _ _
My, [G#] my, [C#m] my, my, my, my.
[Em] I [D] love you, my.
_ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [Em] _
[A] Oh, yes, [D] how you gave me love.
[E] _
_ [F#m] Whoa, if [Bm] there's a hand of a [A] girl I know.
[D] _ _ [E] _ [F#m] [E] Love [D] is _ a mean [C#m] word _ [G] without you.
[A] _ [D] _ On the road [C#m] to show me.
Whoa, [Em] I really [C#] want [D] _ to love the world.
[E] Baby, ain't it [F#m] _ _ _ [Bm]
funny that in the end, [A] it's not [D] the one.
Just [E] a [F#m] word she [E] gave [D] us all.
[F#m] My, my, [C#m] my, my, my.
[Em] We could [A] have been [D] so _ awesome.
[C#m] _ Whoa, _ [Em] _ [A] _ [D] _
[F#m] I don't know.
[E] _ Baby, ain't [F#m] it funny that in the end, it's not [Bm] the one.
I keep a feeling.
[A] I'm going to miss you.
[D] _ _ _
[E] _ [D] I'm going to miss you.
_ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
I'm [C#m] _ _ [E] _ [G] _ _ [A] [D] going to miss you.
Every [F#m] time I want you, every [E] time people want you,
[C#m] every time, [F#m] one more time.
[Bm] I know you were there [A] before.
[D] I never [F#m] meant to go down.
No, I don't want to live in the [D] streets.
I _
[E] _ don't _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] want _ _ [Em] to live [F#m] in the streets.
_ My, my, my, my, my.
[E] Living [F#m] in the past.
[Bm] Sometimes I wonder.
I wonder _ [A] _
[D] where.
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] See, I can remember the [C#m] times when.
_ [Em] _ [A] _
[D] Even though we were very poor, _ [C#m] tried to love each other that much [Em] more.
[A] _ [D] So I [F#m] figured that every now and then, just to [C#m] _
[F#m] keep my mind on the right track, I got
to hold [Bm] my mind and [A] remember [D] what my mama [E] told [E] me.
[D]
I remember that sometimes,
[C#m] _ _ _ [G] _
[A] in [D] the winter, [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _
when the [E] snow would come tumbling [F#m] down,
me and my brothers and [E] sisters,
_ [F#m] all I have to say, [Bm] I feel, [A] would be down,
_ [D] _ [A] you see, [D] would fall down,
_ _ [C#m] all the prison young children,
all [Em] the [A] young [D] girls,
yes [F#m] she would, [C#m] she cried with sadness in her [G] face and said,
[F#m] _ very next day, after [C#m] that snow,
we didn't know [F#m] where we were gonna go,
[Bm] she went [F#m] back [C#m] _ _ [A] [D] and said,
hey lady, let [E] me clean the garden,
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] she said,
_ [G] clean all [A] the gardens,
[D] _ clean the garden,
[C#m] _ [E] help me plant [G] a [F#m] garden, _
I don't know, [E] what the plan is [F#m] for us now,
but we [Bm] find people, God, she's a world [A] class [D] musician,
through the hard [F#m] work of her true love,
[D] we go.
