      G5                                       E5
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
          G5                                 E5
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
             C5             D5         C5                         D5
I know it's over, still I cling, I don't know where else I can go
C5                          D5
Over and over.....



Cheers and enjoy!

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
         G5                                                E5
See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me

Do you think you can help me
C5     D5     G5                                                   E5
Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
C5     D5        G5
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
 E5                     C5  D5                C5               D5
More than she loves you   - and I know it's over - still I cling
   C5                           D5             C5       D5
I don't know where else I can go - over and over.....

I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
                      D5      C5  D5
And she even spoke to me and said

 G5                                             E5           C5  D5

"And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?"

With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms
D5                C5                     D5               C5
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle
      D5             C5          D5
and kind - over and over....

It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and
E5              C5        D5
kind - over and over....
