VERSE
G             D       C        D*      
Well I've been riding a winning horse
G     D          C     Fill 1
for a long, long time 
G   D        C    D* 
Sometimes I wonder
G           D          C     Fill 1
is this the end of the line 
G   D         C           D*
No one should take advantage
G   D       C    Fill 1
of who they are 
G   D      C         D*
No man has got it made 
      G         D          C     Fill 1  
If he thinks he does, he's wrong

CHORUS
G     D        C    Fill 1
Every mother's son
G      D           C       D*
better hear what I'm saying 
G     D        C
Every mother's son
G             D     C
will rise and fall oneday

VERSE
Seen it happen so many times, so many times before 
Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more 
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine 
My friends have all been fools 
It happens everytime

CHORUS

VERSE
I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all 
Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall 
'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine 
Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time

CHORUS

What I say 

CHORUS

What I say 
Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall oneday


And so it goes...
