Em   Dbm  D     Bm       C
She sits alone, an empty stare
Bbm                 B     G#
A mother's face she wears
Em    Dbm        D
Where did she go wrong,
Bm            C
the fight is gone
     Bbm          B
Lord help this broken home

CHORUS:
Em      C       C#      D
   Hey, mother, father, sister
Em      C         C#           D
   Hey, come back, tryin', believein'
Em      C       C#      D
   Hey, mother, father, dreamer
C G G                        D
   Don't you know that I'm alive for you
C G G                  D
   I'm your sevenths son
C G G                            D
 And when lightin' strikes the family
        D        C  C
   Have faith, believe.
Em     Dbm      D     Bm

Em     Dbm      D     Bm        C
With dreams he tried, lost his pride


    Bbm         B    G#
He drinks his life away
Em   Dbm    D
One photograph,
Bm        C
in broken glass
Bbm             B
It should not end this way.

Em      Dbm     D
Through bitter tears
Bm            C          Bbm
And wounded years, those ties
    B          G#
of blood were strong
Em    Dbm     D       Bm       C
So much to say, those yesterdays
    Bbm       B
So now don't you turn away.
