Intro
E5 , D5 , D5 , C5 ,    E5 , D5 , C5 , G5 , D5

E5   Db5  D5     B5       C5
She sits alone, an empty stare
Bb5                 B5     G#5
A mother's face she wears
E5    Db5        D5
Where did she go wrong,
B5            C5
the fight is gone
     Bb5          B5
Lord help this broken home

CHORUS:
E5      C5       C#5      D5
   Hey, mother, father, sister
E5      C5         C#5           D5
   Hey, come back, tryin', believein'
E5      C5       C#5      D5
   Hey, mother, father, dreamer
C5 G5 G5                        D5
   Don't you know that I'm alive for you
C5 G5 G5                  D5
   I'm your sevenths son
C5 G5 G5                            D5
 And when lightin' strikes the family
        D5        C5  C5
   Have faith, believe.
E5     Db5      D5     B5

E5     Db5      D5     B5        C5
With dreams he tried, lost his pride


    Bb5         B5    G#5
He drinks his life away
E5   Db5    D5
One photograph,
B5        C5
in broken glass
Bb5             B5
It should not end this way.

E5      Db5     D5
Through bitter tears
B5            C5          Bb5
And wounded years, those ties
    B5          G#5
of blood were strong
E5    Db5     D5       B5       C5
So much to say, those yesterdays
    Bb5       B5
So now don't you turn away.
