\Chorus/

    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away

\Verse 1/
           Em
Oh, little darling of mine
                D
I can't for the life of me
           Em
Remember a sadder day
                D
I know they say let it be
                       Em
But it just don't work out that way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
Over and over again

\Chorus/
    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away

\Verse 2/
           Em
Oh, little darling of mine
             D
I just can't believe It's so
                Em
Though it seems strange to say
             D
I never been laid so low
              Em
In such a mysterious way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
Over and over again

\Chorus/
    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away

\Coda/
       C          D      G    Em
Oh the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away
       C          D      G    Em      (REPEAT UNTIL FADE-OUT)
Oh the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away
