 Chords you need to know:  (all open chords apart from )
 Oh Mother,  I can feel the soil falling over my  head
 And as I climb  into an empty bed - oh well, enough  said
 I know it's over,  still I cling,  I don't  know where else I can go
Over  and over.....
 Cheers and enjoy!
 Oh Mother,  I can feel the soil falling over my head
 See the sea  wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me
 Do you think you can help me
Sad  veiled  bride  please be happy - handsome groom give her room
Loud  loutish  lover  treat her kindly though she needs you
 More  than she loves you  -  and I know it's over  - still I cling
 I don't  know where else I can go  - over and over.....
 I know it's over  and it never really  began  but in my heart it  was  so real
 And she even spoke to me  and said
 "If  you're so funny, then why are you on your own  tonight?"
 "And  if you're so clever then why are you on your own  tonight?"
 "And  if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own  tonight?"
 "And  if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone  tonight?"
I  know  - 'cos tonight  is just like any other night - that's why you're on
 your own  tonight
 With your triumphs  and your charms - while they're  in each other's arms
It's  so easy to laugh  it's so easy to hate,  it takes strength  to be gentle
 and kind  - over and over....
 It's so easy to laugh  it's so easy to hate,  it takes guts  to be gentle and
kind  - over and over....
 Love is natural  and real  - but not for you  my love not tonight  my love
 Love is natural  and real  - but not  for such  as you  and I  my love
 Oh mother...  etc.
   etc.
