INTRO
 A5  E5 D5  A5  E5 D5 
 A5  E5 D5  A5  E5 D5 

          A5
When it's up to you
   E5          D5      A5
To figure what's right and wrong
     E5    D5     A5
It's someone else's parade
    E5          D5      A5        E5   D5
And yours is an unhappy song

                 A5
When it hurts so bad
        E5          D5     A5
And you feel that you can't go on
E5          D5   A5
Each day goes by too fast
        E5         D5      A5
And the nights are so very long

                E5
You'll find out true
     D5              B5
What mother said to you
              A5        D5            E5
That tears of God will show you the way
           A5  E5 D5  A5  E5 D5 
The way to turn

          A5
When your only escape
     E5  D5   A5
Is a cheap nickel wine
        E5      D5         A5
And the peace you need in your heart
      E5   D5      A5       E5   D5
Is so very hard to find

       A5
It's a stubborn life we lead
    E5          D5  A5
And there's never no    rest
E5          D5          A5
Trouble's out there looking for you
     E5       D5       A5
Even when you try your best

                E5
You'll find out true
     D5              B5
What mother said to you
             A5        D5            E5
The tears of God will show you the way
           D5
The way to turn
              A5
Hide not your head
           D5
The way to turn
                  A5
Hear what he once said
                   D5
He'll show you the way
               A5               D5
For there is a world for you and me
          G5           *E5
Where the blind too can see
                     A5  E5 D5  A5  E5 D5 
Through the tears of God

    A5
The son of the maker said
E5       D5     A5
This is my cross to bear
E5   D5       A5
Taking off of our shoulders
          E5 D5          A5
Something we should have shared

                E5
You'll find out true
     D5              B5
What mother said to you
              A5        D5            E5
That tears of God will show you the way
           A5  E5 D5  A5 
The way to turn
