C5                                                A5
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F5   G5     C5
and as I climb into an empty bed
          A5
oh well, enough said
F5 G5          F5              G5
I know it's over still I cling
   E5                         G5         F5         G5
I don't know where else I can go, mother

(SAME AS ABOVE)
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
although 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
it's over, it's over, it's over

I know it's over
              F5
and it never really began
B5               F5       G5       A5
but in my heart it was so real
F5        G5                          F5 G5
and you 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?
 if you're so very entertaining
 then why are you on your own tonight?
 if you're so very good looking
 why do you sleep alone tonight?
                  C5
 I know because tonight is just like any other night
                            A5         F5  G5
 that's why you're on your own tonight
              C5
 with your triumphs and your charms
         A5
 while they are in each other's arms"

F5         G5        F5
It's so easy to laugh
                  G5
it's so easy to hate
             F5                      G5      F5  G5
it takes strength to be gentle and kind

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

Love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight my love
F5 G5      C5           F5
love is natural and real
G5    F5              G5            E5
but not for such as you and I, my love


Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

I SAW THIS REQUESTED A WHILE AGO.
SO THIS IS PRETTY ROUGH BUT SHOULD BE ACCURATE. BASICALLY IT'S THE VERSE
PATTERN AND CHORUS PATTERN OVER AND OVER. THE Am7 HERE IS X02213.
