Chords after intro:
Dadd4 tab to
Everyone when she was young,
They said she was the pretty one
Shes pretty now, just watch her as she goes
Waiting for the bus to come
She holds the hands of someone young
Whose mother comes and she sees her and she smiles
Thank you Loui-----------se

Mother of thre-------------------------e
Waiting in the check-out line
The supermarket, Christmas time
She helps someone who doesnt have the change
Takes a dollar from her purse
She pays and doesnt say a word
And winks and grins and Merry Christmas, friend
Thank you Loui-----------se

Mother of thre-------------------------e
In Baltimore, the freezing cold,
That chills her daughter to the bone
She walks from work and cops the drugs and leaves
Her brother lay upon the bed
With busted teeth and broken head
He hears the phone and knows his brothers dead
Thank you Loui-----------se
