CAPO ON 5TH FRET

   G                                                Em
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C   D        G
   and as I climb into an empty bed 
          Em
oh well, enough said
C D         C              D
  I know it's over still I cling
C                          D         C    D     C  D
I don't know where else I can go, mother


   G                                               Em
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C D         G
  see, the sea wants to take me

the knife wants to slit me
  Em
do you think you can help me?
C    D     G
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                              Em
handsome groom, give her room
C     D       G
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                                     Em
although she needs you more than she loves you
C D             C              D           
And I know it's over still I cling
C                          D 
I don't know where else I can go
C                    D               C         
it's over, it's over, it's over


            G
I know it's over
              C            
and it never really began
D               C       D       Em
but in my heart it was so real
C        D                          C D
and you even spoke to me and said:

 
G                                               Em         C D
"If you're so funny then why are you on your own tonight
G                                               Em         C D
and if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
G                                               Em         C D
if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
G                                               Em                  C D
if you're so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?  I know
      G                                  
Cause tonight is just like any other night
                           Em         C  D
that's why you're on your own tonight
             G                    
with your triumphs and your charms
         Em                           C  D
while they are in each other's arms"


C         D        C
It's so easy to laugh
                  D
it's so easy to hate
             C                      D      
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
C                D
it's over, over, over


It's so easy to laugh
                  D
it's so easy to hate
         C                     D      
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
C                D    C  D
it's over, over, over


         G           C   D
Love is natural and real
    C       D        Em
but not for you, my love
    C           D
not tonight my love
C D      G           C
love is natural and real
D    C              D       Bm          C  D
but not for such as you and I, my love
